I was a bit surprised that 1st and 2nd graders were participating in a Science Fair, but I think the boys had fun and learned a little bit too!
Ronnie's project was on Eclipses.
Here are a few pictures of his work using a basketball, golf ball and a flashlight.
Ronnie also did a little more work on his board to show how an eclipse happens.
The finished board.
At the fair last night, I was very impressed. Ronnie talked to parents and teachers as they came around to view the projects. I noticed they had to get very close to hear him, but he was talking!
Nathaniel's project was titled: Naked Egg!
He took an egg and put in it vinegar for 24 hours.
He thought it was pretty neat how it changed colors, size and texture.
The soaked egg had a rubbery feel (the shell had dissolved).
Here he is with his finished board.
Nathaniel also did a great job last night at explaining his project to parents and teachers. He was pretty proud to tell everyone about what he did!
Although neither of the boys placed, both got a green participation ribbon that they were pretty proud of. They did a great job and I think are looking forward to future science projects!
