Riley was required by his 6th grade teacher to do a science project. He first was going to grow mold on bread with different liquids, but the bread he used had preservatives in it, so it never grew mold. (Note to self: DONT USE BREAD WITH PRESERVATIVES IN IT!!!) So he had to change his project the week before it was due. He then decided to try different liquids to clean a penny. He chose water, milk and A1 steak sauce. Believe it or not the A1 wins, because of the tomatoes and vinegar and other stuff we won't mention in it. On Monday, he had to have his poster done with his question, hypothesis and the results on it and sit by it while the whole school and parents came by and looked at his project and he had to explain what he did. At Westridge Elementary, this was not required, but optional. But now he is at Lakeview Elementary, it was required. His parents have now done 5 science projects over the course of Cameron, Erika and now Riley in school. We have 2 more science projects to go in 7th and 8th grade, so watch for it next year.Tuesday, December 9, 2008
