This year we convinced Skylar to participate in the Science Fair. I knew if she was going to do it, we needed to have the project focus on something she loves. CANDY was the answer! We came up with the idea on finding out what liquid dissolves Skittles that fastest. She and Jake picked out all the liquids and set up the experiment one day in our garage. Skylar's hypothesis was that vinegar would dissolve the skittles the fastest. The results came in and water was actually the winner. Jake and Skylar couldn't believe it that they did the experiment for a second time and again, water came out on top.
The next weekend we spent hours putting together Skylar's display board.
The evening of the science fair Skylar did great explaining her experiment to all the people viewing it.
The next morning at school all the winners of the science fair were announced. I could tell that Skylar was A) really shocked when they call her name and B) really proud of herself. She placed 3rd against all other 3rd graders.
We couldn't of been more proud of our little scientist.
I am so proud of you, Skylar! This was a fabulous experiment. Your board was brilliant! Third place out of all the third graders is quite an accomplishment! Super job!
