Science Fair

I am so very proud of my niece and her 1st place win in the Earth Science category of her campus Science Fair! 

Participating in the Science Fair was voluntary, and she was eager from the beginning.  She thought about various questions she had and categories to study, and she settled on testing water samples.  Because we don't live near one another, we used a dance competition weekend to get it done.  She gathered all the water samples, and I gathered our testing materials.  We worked for several hours in a hotel kitchen area--getting organized, testing the samples, typing on the laptop, organizing her thoughts, etc.  She knew what questions she had and where she wanted to take the project.  A sweet friend gave me some guiding questions to make sure we included, and my niece tackled everything head on.  I was quite impressed with her knowledge and thinking.  Once everything was typed and ready, pictures taken, we went and got the project board and supplies to make it look great.  She finished the board at home the following week.

1st Place!  Awesome for doing it all in a hotel!


Good luck at District!
