Science Fair with Parents at School . . .

Schyler had to pick 4 science projects she'd like to do and the teachers chose 2 for each child. Any parent that wanted to participate signed up to help their child. We were invited for lunch and then went to our designated rooms. The first project we did was called the Cartisian Diver. Mrs. Entwistle went over the project and the kids figured out why the diver went up and down the bottle and then they got to make one! Schyler really enjoyed this project and was very proud of her diver! After picking the colored wire, we hot glued the wire onto the eye dropper and then added water to it.


Mrs. Entwistle is explaining to her how it's actually working.


Little more practice at diving.


The second project she chose was the "Hair Raising Experience". Mr. Pollock always comes to the school and shows the kids different science projects during the Good Morning Program. Schyler loves Mr. Pollock. Science is her favorite subject!

Here Mr. Pollock is using Schyler's hair to show the kids how the balloon collects electrons from her hair and causes her hair to stick to the balloon to try and get the electrons back.

Here is the hair raising experience. Not only did her hair go crazy but her shit was sticking to her like crazy and the strings hanging off her denim skirt with stick straight out! It was really funny watching all the kids do this. One of the high school girls did it and her hair went crazy!
