The Science Fair

Here is Bekah's Science Fair project. Her subject was gravity and we worked really hard on this display. Gravity is a little hard to understand for us non-sciency folks. I really think she did a good job on her board and especially the planets look nice. We cut foam balls in half (I had plenty of those laying around!) for the planets. Jonah watched us cut these balls in half with a pained look on his face and I couldn't let Sam watch at all or he would have been MAD! We painted the balls and glued them on. We put paper rings around Saturn and wire rings around some of the others. Bekah really loved studying the Solar system and so was the expert, I just helped with some ideas. We did not include Pluto since it is officially not a planet, and we ran out of balls. Fifth graders were required to do the science fair this year and be judged. Bekah got a second place blue ribbon for her efforts. Good job, Bekah!
