Science Fair

I teach science. Therefore, the science fair is one of my responsibilities at school. We successfully survived this year without any explosions or disasters. The real success: The entire fifth through eighth grade stayed in the cafeteria for 3 hours and no one was injured or fought. Miracles do happen. :)

The kids were really good, and were really fun to talk to about all their projects. It was fun to work with my students preparing their projects, and then judge kids that I taught when they were in fourth grade. It's fun to watch kids grow.

 Judging in action!
 It's so fun to listen to them reason out their projects. 
 Love these two girls! They are such wonderful students.

 The winners! There were two divisions, 5-6 grades, 7-8 grades, first, second and third place.

Oh the joys of the science fair. How was that being a judge? Did you laugh at some of the kids ideas for a "project." Were their any "What cleaning product preserves potatoes the best?"

OH MY GOODNESS! Totally random projects, seriously. It's weird though, no one tried to preserve potatoes....probably because everyone already knows the answer to that question thanks to some groud-breaking reaserach circa 1994.
