The Science Fair was last week at the boys' school. The 2nd graders complete projects as a class, but were not judged like the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are. The teachers encourage them to do something extra at home with their families. My younger redneck in training's class did an experiment to find out what size battery would make the best electromagnet. Our boy was the only kid in his class that did anything extra at home.
Our older redneck in training's experiment was about recycling. He recycled computer paper and newspaper then tested them to judge which one was more durable. His recycled paper looked great, his display board was awesome, his newspaper tree was a great touch, and the free papers he handed out only helped his case ;)
He was judged by three different judges throughout the morning. They looked at his recycled paper, his display, his journal, and asked him various questions about his experiment.
There were several different categories. His project was in the Earth Science category. He won 1st place -- "Best in Category"
They have already started trying to figure out what to do next year. Both boys will be judged next year and our soon-to-be 6th grader will be eligible to go to a district competition. So they'll need to come up with good ideas! If anyone has any ideas feel free to send them our way.
