Jordan's 1st Science Fair
It’s science fair time for many schools across the country. If you’re a parent of a middle school child, you have mostly likely spent hours helping brainstorm creative ideas for a science fair project, and then even more hours helping (and in many cases doing most of the work) complete the project. Participating in the school science fair is a fantastic opportunity to uncover the power of the scientific method... in addition to building self esteem and self confidence. Jordan switched from private to public school this past year and so prior to leaving 5th grade he was initiated into the world of the science fair. What memories that brings back for me. I loved participating in the science fair. Looking back I have to credit my mom for that... she was amazing when it came to creative projects. We'd brainstorm new ideas that hadn't been done before (remember this is before the internet), spend weeks conducting the actual experiment and then pour over all of the details to ensure the actual board was perfect. It's one of my favorite memories of my mom. I didn't have the opportunity to help Jordan do his science fair project but I was honored to attend the fair and have him explain his board to me. He is such a smart kid... and I'm really proud of him. He did a great job on his first science fair project. I hope he looks back years from now and remembers it fondly like I do.
