Science Fair

Liam and Dash participated in their school's science fair. Be still my heart. We tried to leave as much up to them as we could. After listing off topic ideas, Dash narrowed in on researching the squid while Liam wanted to explore how fish live in the water. We read some books and I asked them if they wanted to include certain facts as we came across them. I grouped facts together to make sense when presented. Then they wrote out the facts and drew their graphics and glued it all together. Then the family admired all the posters at the science fair.

So proud of his work.

Dash got to explain his poster to the principal and it was just so adorable.

Wren hung out, literally, while we visited the different posters and displays, like homemade batteries and tornado makers.

And here's Grey after the fortieth time I reminded him not to mess with someone's delicate display. Scientific finesse is a bit lost on a three-year-old.

  1. Way to go boys! I love Dash's illustration of jet propulsion. That's pretty sophisticated. And Liam clearly understands the functions of all of the different parts of a fish. What a great first science fair experience.
