science fair

E was in the school science fair this week. He and his dad had been looking forward to it for weeks. His project was called "How Much Does This Weigh?" - said with a dramatic echo. E took pictures of things around the house - a pizza, books, his baby sister, etc. He predicted how much each item would weigh and then found the true weight. He practiced explaining his experiment several times - and the judge turned out to be his teacher's husband - who was very gentle with his questions.

A lot of kids from E's class participated. Here he is with his buddy Bayard who showed about different liquids have different weights. Another classmate tested to see if you get more banana strings if you peeled the banana from the bottom than the top. Answer - yes!
E got a gold star from the judge and a lovely medal. He's bringing the project to class today for show and tell. Top honors in his grade range went to a first grader who presented on "How Fossils Are Formed" and to the banana girls (they are twins).
