SCIENCE FAIR WINNER!!!

This was our first, believe it or not, foray into science fair projects. I'm still in great disbelief that it has taken this long for us to participate...but that's a story for another day!! Our first experience led to a second place winner!! Braden was/is sooooooooo excited about his 2nd place finish. He hoped only for honorable mention so his expectations were obviously met and exceeded! Interestingly enough, his class took 8 of the 18 places in the science fair. In the three catagories they took first AND second in all but one catagory! Not bad for Mrs.Conroy, who I believe is still a "temporary" (for this year) teacher!!!

Yeah for Braden!!

With all the Physical Science division winners



Proud and happy in front of his project "How does a non-Newtonian fluid react differently to a pencil tip, a pencil eraser and the back of a spoon being pushed quickly into the non-Newtonian fluid?"

A major huge CONGRATULATIONS to Braden. That is so very awesome. I think Sara is the only one of ours who ever placed----a first place in high school..But that was after three older siblings and 8 years of project. Congrats again. Grandma C

I'm sure I didn't know what a non-Newtonian fluid was at that age! Congratulations to Braden!
