Science Project

This week we worked on a project for the Science Fair. To get the kids excited about the Science Fair, we wanted the first graders to be able to work on an experiment, too, even though technically they aren't entering the competition. I love getting the kids excited about science at an early age. It really is fun!

If you came to Technology Night on Thursday (and thank you for those that did!), you might have seen our project on display in the pod. Our trifold boards didn't come in on time, so we decided to just use butcher paper. I actually think it turned out prettier this way!

Our experiment was about snack foods. We wanted to know which snack food would be the greasiest one. I think the kids really enjoyed the experiment, and it tied in well to a discussion about healthy eating choices.

After seeing these results, I am definitely going go think twice when getting snacks at the grocery store! :)
