A dirty word in my book.
Never a fan of the Science project. Maybe its because I'm not blessed with those curious genes that want to know how things work.
So, imagine my surprise when Bubba VOLUNTEERED to do a science project.
Yes, it was optional.
I think his willingness to do a project might have been due to his BFF doing one.
Who knows.
All I know is it was due the week before Christmas.
Worst timing E-V-E-R!!
Of course Bubba didn't really give us the right timeline and we thought it was due AFTER Christmas break.
Its Monday night:
Bubba: "Mom, my project is due Wednesday."
Me: "What project?"
Bubba: "My Science Project."
Me: "You're doing a project?!"
I go get Luke who tells me he helped Bubba put together a "proposal" earlier in the month and it was approved.
BUT the experiement was not yet done.
Oh sweet. Let me guess what we will be working on until Wednesday?!
The bottom line is the project got finished and Bubba really had a good time with it. He competed against other 4th graders and I think he got a second place ribbon....so he was thrilled.
I have to give big props for Luke's patience and willingness to help Bubba with the whole thing.
Yay for me. :)
Bubba's project: "Does the color of a candle determine how fast it burns?"
The girls are all reading quietly while waiting for the judges to show up. Not the boys on the other side. :)
Bubba even got to sit next to his best buddy during judging.
