Science Fair Projects

Kennedy and Jackson participated in their first science fair recently. Kennedy asked the question, "What are ants most attracted to?" She saturated small squares of bread with sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and water (control) substances and laid them out on our counter for three hour time segments to see which one the ants would be most attracted to. Her hypothesis proved to be correct, when most of the ants were found on the bread soaked in sugar water. She performed this experiment five times and graphed her results with the ants that were found on the bread.

Here she is giving her presentation to one of the science fair judges.

Jackson collected bugs for his part of the science fair. He was especially proud of the beautiful dragonfly that Aunt Becky donated in the name of science.

Both children were given a pencil for participation. It was a great experience and I am thankful for the opportunity for them to have had a chance to do it.
