science fair projects

James has been helping the boys with their science fair projects. In our school district it is required that students complete a science fair project in grades 4 - 8. That equals out to five projects per child x 5 children = 25 projects. I'm thinking by the time Ryan is doing science fair he may just have to recycle some of the ideas his siblings did!
This year Reid is discovering about the different textures of surfaces his remote control car can travel:


Chase is finding out about the different types of 'scoopers' for scooping ice cream: a wooden spoon, a metal scoop, a plastic scoop:


Chase is also enjoying the rewards of eating the ice cream that needed to be scooped!

Next up is completing the science fair display board with all their findings.

Does he need any tasters for the ice cream experiment? I am always available for ice cream! Ha. I hope it is going well. Good luck with finishing them.

Much better project than Briana's. She was comparing celery stored in the green bags vs a regular ziploc green shield bag. Better reward to eat the ice cream.
