Cerina Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Today was Noah's first science fair. He made a model of a tornado, and learned even more about them than he already knew (which was considerable). His project won Grand Champion for his age group (K-2), and Noah was awarded Best Interview as well. We're so proud! We're raising a geeky little nerd. I love it.

He actually did 90% of this himself. I glued the "grass" onto the board, and Trevor rigged the tornado to stand, but that's it. Noah did all the rest. We helped him come up with ideas for what to put on there, but then he narrowed it down to the ones he wanted. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Cereese/2EE86F59-834C-4F90-BBC2-CCF325C40586_zpsnsq9fcbu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerina Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 He loves wearing it. He's even got a growing collection of ties (all clip-on) to choose from. He's serious about looking good for big events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas1138 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Do kids not have to perform an experiment for the Science Fair nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerina Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It depends on the science fair. This one is with the homeschool association we're members of. They allowed the younger grades to make a model/do a demonstration, conduct an experiment, or present a scientific collection. The point is to get young children to learn and think about scientific concepts. He says that next year he wants to do an earthquake demonstration, but I think I'm going to convince him to do an experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burt Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 That's awesome! I judge science fairs every now and then, sometimes I am blown away by how bad some of the judges can be. Some of the kids obviously put a lot of work into it, and they deserve to be treated more fairly than they are. The last fair I judged, it was clear there was some female vs. female bias, i.e. the female judge resented the female student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
