At the end of April all 4 kids participated in our local homeschool science fair - and boy was it exciting!!
These pictures were taken just moments after tornado sirens started sounding. The librarians quickly herded us to the supply closet where we spent the next hour and a half waiting out the storm. It happened to be an elderly lady's birthday, so we sang happy birthday, had chips and crackers, and made the most of our time as a tornado swept past only a block away from us!
Once it was safe, we came out of our safe space and proceeded with the fair!
The kids worked hard on their projects and learned so much!
Faith project tested what household items make the best preservatives. She found out that lemon juice works best.
Mig tested whether or not drag effects a plane's flight distance.
Selah successfully removed DNA from an onion.
Gabe tested the 5 second rule - you know if food is safe to eat off the floor as long as you pick it up withing 5 seconds. He even built an incubator to grow bacteria! Even though his research told him that it is not, his experiment demonstrated that it is safe to eat.
They each had to present their projects to the three judges (Byron was a judge!).
Faith was so proud of her Participation Award!!
There were a total of 14 projects done by elementary and middle school students. One student made a Tesla coil, one student tested wind energy - these were all amazing projects. Homeschoolers are awesome!
Mig won 1st place for the elementary age participants!
We were proud of all 4 of our kids and the other kids that participated! Despite our late and kind of scary start, it was an impressive fair!
