The science fair was last Thursday and I wanted to post some photos from the fair, for those of you that weren't able to make it. I can tell that fourth graders are fascinated by mold because boy, did we have a lot of mold related projects this year! :)
Jimmy studied what type of paper created the BEST paper airplane!
Josh (our 4th grade, 1st place winner!) tested electromagnets!
Julia tested how mold grows on bakery vs. name brand bread - WOW!
Nathan studied mold growth on cut vs. not cut fruits. Don't cut your fruit if you want it to last longer!
Hayley studied the electrical conductivity of different fruit and vegetables.
Jack tested different types of bubble solutions to find out what would last the longest!
Leslie tried out different liquids to mix with soap to create the best bubble. Milk?? I was so surprised!
Charlie studied the number of volts put out by various citrus fruits!
Stewart tested what types of flowers absorbed colors best.
Grant did a field study to decide which type of car (electric or gasoline) was the best value for its lifetime! Adults, take a peek at this one!
Ben wanted to find out how long it would take to teach his old dog a new trick!
Nico tested the senses of people vs. dogs!
Lily wondered what types of surfaces allowed marbles to travel the furthest!
Bailey also studied mold growth on bread with different liquids - I would hate to have to do her dishes with all that mold!
Kara explained all about different soils we could grow plants in best!
Hannah wondered what types of lights allowed plants to grow best!
Quinn studied which type of slime was best! Gross and fun mixed into one!
Taylor studied what type of footwear was best for soccer comfort and performance. I wonder if the Sounders would be interested in her research? I can't imagine they would all wear slippers to their next game though! :)
Mairead wondered what type of ball her dog could find best!
Yumi tried to find out what gender was best at discovering optical illusions!
Annalise grew yeast and used the yeast gas to blow up balloons!
Lauren tested the strength of different bridge designs. One bridge held her dad AND his toolbox! I sense a future architect!
Diego studied most comfortable gaming positions. Gamers - take notice!
Lilja studied where to go to find the most mushroom populations!
Keiana studied light's effect on plant growth!
We all had a ton of fun and can't wait to for next year's science fair!
