Kate and Jake participated in the UES Science Fair this past Thursday!
Jake's class was required to do a project and he chose a topic on his own that he enjoyed very much...his question was, "Does the diameter of a coin affect the amount of time it will spin?" He had fun and learned quite a bit about diameter, weight, and rotation. He found that none of the factors that he considered affected the amount of time the coin would spin. He concluded that his grip on the coin and the force were definite variables in the experiment!
Kate was not required to participate, but, as you can imagine, she wanted to! She also chose her topic, inspired by our neighbor's project last year...Kate's question was, "Do people like chocolate chip cookies with a sugar substitute as much as they like them with sugar?" She and Bob had fun in the kitchen preparing for that one! Turns out the cookie with the applesauce substituted for white sugar beat out white sugar and Splenda...big time...you should try it!
Both kids worked very hard and were very proud of themselves yesterday as they posed in front of their project boards!
