Science Fair!

So sweet Emily had to participate in the school wide science fair this year. Must admit I was just a tiny bit totally dreading this project. The school didn't exactly send home a wealth of information about what they expected. Just the basics: research, question, hypothesis, conclusions, etc. Every first grader should understand those, right? All my worry was in vain though. She did great! She came up with the idea on her own: what weighs more? A penny or a dime? She even had a hypothesis without realizing it. "I think a dime weighs more because it is worth more." Turns out her hypothesis was different the the conclusion she reached through her research, a penny weighs slightly more because the materials are different. 100% - well done!
