And So It Begins....Science Fair 2012

Well Hello everybody...all 15 followers that is!  And Russia, Ukraine, Netherlands, Singapore...wowsers!

I'm back to tell the story of the journey of science fair.  The documents are done...Form 1, 1A, Research Plan, 1B, Risk Assessment, 1C, 6A, 6B,...if students aren't excited about science fair NOW...maybe they'll be excited about becoming attorneys!  OR NOT!

Now that Christmas break is upon us, it's time when students plan a wonderful break with their friends and family and squeeze in a science project...plants will be grown, electric current will measured, saws will cut wood, tests strips will test...sounds like a scientific Santa's workshop but with cursing and very angry elves....especially when they discover things aren't going as planned!  Welcome to the world of REAL science!!!  Just because you "think it"  doesn't make it so...the forces of physics and the invisible world of chemistry are working hard to test your ideas in other ways!  Ha! Ha!  It's like the Grinch of Science!!! 

Well, I won't say anything else for now.  I'll just let the kids make their scientific observations then when they come in complaining I will refer them to this web site and laugh in their face!  Actually, not on the outside...just in my head!  It's more professional that way...and I like my job. 

Merry Science to All...and to All a good light!  (I couldn't rhyme with much else.)
