Science Fair

 

The school's 4th and 5th grade science fair night was a couple of Thursday ago. Iver and friend Xander studied the effects of different running shoes on race performance (speed), finding that the golden "spike" track shoes Iver wished for and got for his birthday were solidly superior to other athletic shoes and crocs in terms of their running performance in a ~200 m distance.  I helped the boys with data collection, but the poster and interpretation was all them, completed at school! 

Other kids studied the voltage of electrolyte solutions, plant growth, and other chemical reactions. Five participants from each grade were selected to present the county level and Iver's project qualified!  

Next to the posters was a science area with other booths. The kids were infatuated with "Nature Joe" and his reptiles! 

Now Iver really wants a snake (I drew the line at two amphibians!). 

We found out later that the boys' project/poster placed as "second place" in a group of  kids in the county and a ceremony was held at the County of Education conference center this weekend.

Fuente Strong!

Niall wanted to share in the credit :)

Iver's already thinking about his next year's project (involving his latest passion, football!).
