Cole's Science Project

The Elementary science fair was last Friday the 17th. Cole's project was about air pressure. He poured hot and cold water on a bottle and depending on the different temperature the air would either push out the straw or suck water up it. It was a great experiment once we got it working. Michael helped Cole put it all together once he wasn't successful doing it alone. Michael got it all together and Cole some how couldn't get it to school without breaking something. So finally on the morning of the science fair Michael came and set it up in class and Cole then performed the experiment and it worked perfectly! The air came out of the bottle when Cole poured hot water over the outside of it creating bubbles in a cup of water and then when he poured cold water on the outside of the bottle it contracted sucking water up the straw. It was a very scientific:). It might not win any national science fairs but Cole liked it and it worked isn't that all that matters.

The kids that participated in the science fair all brought their projects to the gym to display. The fifth grade class had success this year and had a box full of newly hatched baby chickens. Last year Cannon's class didn't have success:( Adam loves the baby chickens he wanted to plant himself in front of the box and stay there for the afternoon. Too bad chickens aren't that cute when they grow up, Michael might not have as hard of a time convincing me to have chickens.
