I have watched my nieces a lot this year. On the days that they do not have dance right after school, they come over to Pam's and my house. I love helping them with their school work and projects. Every year their school holds a Science Fair in April. It is always the week of Earth Day. They have worm races. This year the 5th grade built rockets and launched them at a local park.
Caeli completed a extensive project on Gravity. She was required to turn in a detailed science notebook, present her experiment and do a board for the science fair.
The 1st grade teachers let the students do anything that they want. The only requirement is that they follow the scientific method. Kianna chose to do an experiment to see if flowers and plants need water. She was upset that she "killed" a flower by not giving it enough water. The other carnation got lots of water with food coloring. She was able to show how the water traveled up the stem to the edges of the petals.
I love helping them with school work and watching the learn.
