School Stuff

I need to brag a moment because I have a couple of smarties. In our district, participation in the science fair is not mandatory until 4th grade, but Meda and Collin both wanted to do a project. Meda's hypothesis was "which toothpaste whitens teeth the best". She stained 8 teeth in coffee and punch and used 4 different whitening toothpastes to brush them. Lucky for her, cousin Hunter never gave his teeth to the toothfairy so she was able to use real teeth!

Collin chose to do his project on magnets. His hypothosis was "Are all household metals magnetic". We had a fun time gathering metals from around the house and trying the magnet on them. We also researched magnets and learned many uses for them.

Last week was the science fair awards ceremony and I was happy to say that both kids placed in their categories and got to bring home ribbons. I do realize that Collin looks like he is very spaced out, but he really was happy.
