Science Fair

Instead of last weeks class we went to a school's science fair. This was held at Elk Point Jefferson and was a really fin experiment. Our class as well as a class from Morningside, were the Judges. We got a list of all the kids that we needed to go and check out and got a little rubric to help with our grading. There were really interesting ones and then there were some that were not that unique. All the children really seemed into it and were all excited. There were a lot of "moldy breads" and typical ones like that. My Favorite was this one girl who was talking about the importance of having calcium in your diet. She placed eggs and bones into a jar of vinegar. It was interesting because the bones were flexible and the egg had lost its shell. I would definitely do this again and thought that it was a neat opportunity.
