Science Fair

After Boo at the Zoo, we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. Then we headed over to the Science Fair at the College.  There were a lot of cool things going on but I think it was a little too much for us.  There were over 20 different stations and way too many people.  Also we haven't had our naps yet. I'm glad we went, I got some good ideas on science things to do with the kids.  One of the booths was making a solar oven out of a pizza box to cook s'mores.

 Here's Hailey playing with electricity.

 Then the funky ball with cool glowing lights inside.  I really have never understood what that is or why it works.

 Then there was a station about our brain and optical illusions. The kids enjoyed holding the model of the brain. 

 Nathan just stood back and held a very heavy, sleeping Hannah.

The last station we went to was about floating and sinking.  They made boats out of foil and the workers had little washers to test out their boats.  Hailey was really trying to make her boat work, while Robert was using his boat to scoop the water up.

The way we heard about this was because my friend's husband is in the MicroBiology Program. There booth was about how effective kids are at washing there hands. They gave the kids "germs" that could only be seen under a black light, then the kids were supposed to wash them off and go back to check to see how well they did.  Robert loved this, playing in water and his hands glowing.  This also taught me that my kids are not the best at washing hands.
