Science Fair Projects
This year, all my kids participated in the Gilbert House Science Fair.
Ducky did a project all about an Octopus. She was inspired by the Octopus that lives at the Newport Aquarium. She also liked the books she checked out from the library on Octopi.
She even used her toy octopus that she got for her birthday.
Louisa did a project on Rainbows. She is our Rainbow and Fairy Princess girl. Rainbows turned out to be way more complex that she had imagined, but she had a good time learning new things about it.
Einstein did a project all about paper wasps. He originally was going to do genetics, and his bunnies for project material, but it became way more complicated than he expected, so he chose something more simple.
During the summer, we found a HUGE paper wasps next hanging from our room. In January we harvested it, and took it apart and examined it. Then Christopher studied every aspect of paper wasps, their nests, and their living habits. He had a good time on this one!!!
It was a non-competative Science Fair, and all the kids recieved medals, certificates, and a bag of goodies. It was such a good experience, they are already planning what they want to do next year!!!
