It's Science Fair Day in the lower school and this morning JT set up his project. There are plenty of actual scientists in the parent population at our school, so many of the projects will be impressive. While Kid X splits the atom and Kid Y is running his double-blind experiment to cure heart disease, here at Sassafras House we debated what to do.I'm a social scientist (read: not an actual scientist) and so the assignment is not exactly my strong suit. The chance that I can clone our cats in my ample weekend hours seemed slim. So we went for the sympathy card: We studied broken bones.
We got some books and learned how bones heal and then we got copies of JT's before and after x-rays. We included some pictures of his various casts. JT is pleased with his project and it turned into a very nice remembrance of his broken leg.
Now I'll just sit back and wait for MIT to phone with the scholarship offer.
Nice work!
ReplyDeleteNo scholarships at MIT, actually. Just need-based aid for geniuses.
ReplyDeleteY'all should definitely qualify.
Very cool! See, the cast and your pics came in handy for something :)
ReplyDeletewell i think this was the best project of all... science as it relates to real life.. excellent....
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! He looks like he's doing really well - all healed and everything...neat post!
ReplyDeletemost times a science fair is a competition for who has the smartest dad. Nice to see an honest entry. Well done.
ReplyDeleteExcellent ... you must be so proud!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a child setting up projects. As a teacher I too feel pride!
