This past week, Bri and Kiff had their science fairs at school. What an amazing experience. It is the first time that either of them participated in a science fair and it definitely harkened back to an earlier time in my own life when I loved science fairs. I can still remember those fifth through eighth grade science fairs that dominated my life.
Bri decided to answer the question "How do lungs work?" She and Emmie made a poster complete with a diagram, as well as tips on lung health and words to know. She make a take home book, a coloring sheet, and even had a model lung made out of a plastic water jug that showed how the lungs worked.
Kiff's science fair was "How do stars form?" Although he had to be coaxed a little bit more to do it, he had fun. He and I put together a display that showed how stars form, the different size stars, and the life cycle of a star. It included a chart will real pictures and his pictures. Along with this we made styrofoam models of a blue giant, medium start, and red dwarf.
Overall, Bri said it was "fun, cool, neat, love projects"
Kiff said, "Liked it."
I am sure they cannot wait until next year.
