science fair time

It really feels like spring now that E's had his school choir concert and now science fair. This year he explored what keeps apple slices from turning brown - a common complaint from his own lunch. It's so much fun to go through all the exhibits and see all of the interesting, careful work students are doing. I never participated in a science fair as a student. I like getting to try out these things via E. 

E got a great write up from the judge and a bright orange ribbon. Most of the kids complain, but the organizers go with positive reinforcement rather than winners at the fair. I would give E the blue ribbon for sure!
