Science Fair

One of the joys of living close to our grandchildren is being able to go to their activities. They both decided that they wanted to participate in their school's science fair. It is only mandatory for the 5th and 6th grades, but other students are allowed to participate if they want. Chanelle (4th grade) and Javin (Kindergarten) were very excited about their projects and had worked hard for a number of days. Chanelle experimented with different methods of making rock candy. We didn't sample it, but Chanelle's friends were able to get a few samples from her after the judging! It must have been good because I saw several girls go back for more!



Javin experimented with static electricity using statically charged balloons to lift objects. He discovered that some lifted easily and others did not.
