Sam and Carly both participated in the Narrows View Intermediate Science Fair this year. Carly's project was comparing speed of a runner, someone on a scooter, and a bicycler.
Sam's project was to see which kind of wax melted faster: Regular, Palm, and Soy.
They came up with the ideas on their own, and just informed me on what they were doing. Science projects are traditionally "helped along" by the parents, but this year I wasn't even asked for my opinion. The impending Science Fair usually provides a lot of stress to my life, but I was able to relax and watch them work! (I only helped by printing pictures for their display boards, and helped time Carly's tests). So I watched them, and kept my thoughts for project improvements to myself. This was not an easy task!
I am a little relieved they are getting old enough to handle these things on their own! I'm sure the time will come when I remember with fondness those days of Science Fair volcanos, and plant projects. But, for now I'm breathing. Breathing. Go Science!
