Chris in VA Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Dd is at the Regional Science Fair today! She and a classmate paired up to do a science project in school--it's comparing environmentally ok ice melt with the regular stuff. They used my Vitamix to chop up ice, spread it in pans, and then did the ice melt comparison. They placed among the top in their high school science fair, and today, get to meet with others from our region. It's actually pretty funny--it was a last minute choice on their part, and really just to fulfill a requirement for Honors Chem. But I'm proud of her, anyway! We don't expect it to go further.

Tsuga Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'd be over the moon if that were one of mine. Not tiny at all. That's great. It's hard to get out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 That's awesome! Congratulations! How was the regional science fair? I think dd learned a lot, which is kinda neat. They had to be judged by at least 3 people, who walked around and asked each presenting person (group/duo--dd did her project with one other girl) about the project. They were very thorough in making sure the kids knew their stuff. They actually taught as they critiqued, which was worthwhile. It was a really positive experience for dd. Because of the teaching critique, she made some connections from what she'd learned last year to what she did as her project. It was all about the ions! LOL--She tried to tell me, but I got a little lost... Science fairs were never my thing, so at least this was one example of the students NOT getting Mom to do their projects! (I don't think that happens much at this level,anyway.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanetC Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Congratulations! Our regional science fair is (essentially) non-competitive - anyone who is not disqualified at regionals can enter state if they desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
