Science Fair

participant shirts for the scientist & his dad

Last year we caught the tail end of the elementary school's Science Fair.  Our family was going through some things at that time and we were unable to participate.  However, we knew we would definitely be a part of the event this year. 

This project was a family group project but Thomas was involved all along the way.  Last weekend Thomas and his dad worked on the project, running tests and getting everything figured out.  With Thomas' help, I put together the presentation board this week. 

This morning we set up the project in the middle school's auditorium for tonight's Science Fair.  Throughout the day classrooms walked through and looked at all the projects.  They did it in waves so all the first grade classrooms were there at the same time, then all the second grade classrooms, etc.  When a student's grade level was walking through, the student had to stay at their project to present their project.  I wasn't there to see how it went but Thomas says it went well.

The Science Fair this evening was held from 6 to 8pm.  Late in the evening the principal spoke and recognized all the participating students.  I was pleased how they made it a positive experience for all the students involved.  Each student received a ribbon, a t-shirt, a certificate and notes about their project.  We love our school!
