Science Fair in New Albany, IN

We participated in a science fair on February 5 for the first time this year.  I have not been involved with an science fair since high school and had forgotten how much was involved.  Nevertheless, the kids had a good time and next year will involve some better (and earlier) planning.

  
Jonathan's project was on "Magnets".  He had some adorable little frogs racing around the track.


Samuel chose multiple items to drop in the water.  He made a list of which items would sink or float.  He then tested his hypothesis.






Alaina's project was on "Wind Power".  She created a windmill and attempted to light a tiny light bulb.  She was able to generate power and showed this on a small galvanometer; however, she was not able to generate enough power to light the bulb.
