Another Great Science Fair






The Science, Technology and Invention Fair last evening was another great success. Students expertly explained their experiments (third), consumer product research (fourth), and inventions (fifth). We now know that hot water melts ice faster than salt, tomatoes have more vitamin C than oranges, and generic brand diapers hold more water than name brands. Fifth graders have some marketable inventions, like a book stand for people who have trouble holding books and turning pages, a changing station for people on the go, and the Robo-Artist!

Many thanks to Teachers Dottie and Alice for their hard work in preparing these young scientists and designers.
