Today was the Science Fair for the Concord schools. Kids displayed their science projects that they have worked on and had them judged by "scientists".
If you double click on these pictures they should get bigger for you.
Madison's project was "Which ear plug works the best?" She tested different brand name ear plugs to see which one blocked the most sound from room noise, a mixer and a cell phone ring. Surprisingly a marshmallow worked the best to block the noise of a cell phone ring. She used a decibel meter to determine how loud the sounds were.
Quinn's project was called "Just Cool It!" and he performed different tests to find the fastest way to cool down a can of pop. He found that water, ice and salt cooled a can of room temperature pop to a chilly 37 degrees in only 8 1/2 minutes. Pretty fast huh? We all had fun with the projects and learned about the scientific steps of research.
The kids also each had basketball games today as well. Madison's Upward team lost 18-30. She scored 10 points and played well. Quinn's team won (I can't remember the score) and he had about 8 points and at least 10 steals. He was Mr. Scrappy out there today!
Tony worked all afternoon. Well, that's all the highlights from today. Take care!
Love to all, Leah
