Homeschool Science Fair
Eric just participated in our local homeschool science fair. His project was on "Intrusive and Extrusive Igneous Rocks". This was a great experience for him, and I think he learned a lot, not only about his project (we all learned something from his project!) but also from the process of preparing his presentation, practicing it several times, and then being flexible at the fair to be able to answer the judges questions as well as questions from his peers. He also got lots of great ideas for next year. He got to set up next to his friend, Liam, who was also doing a presentation on Rocks and Minerals, so they enjoyed learning from each other's projects. Everyone got a certificate and a book of encouraging comments from those who looked at the project, and a judging sheet which showed ways they did well as well as ways to improve. If you ever have the opportunity to participate in a science fair with your child, I encourage you to do it, even if science is not your strong point! It really was lots of fun and not very difficult once we decided on a topic.
