The family that procrastinates together...

So when they announced the Science Fair way back in December, of course Andrew wanted to participate. He had some pretty cool (although impractical) ideas for his project. Finally one day a few weeks ago he decided that he wanted to find out which bubble gum produced the biggest bubble. We planned it all out, had all of the supplies, did a little of the work.
Last night we did the rest of the work. I never thought I would hear a kid say he was sick of bubble gum. His poor jaws got a workout. He had to test six different gums, and blow 10 bubbles with each gum. He did a lot of work, but the requirements required a lot of parental assistance. At 10:15 last night we were glueing stuff to his display board. Hopefully he learned about the scientific method and not just that Hubba Bubba produces the largest bubbles.

Mike and I actually enjoy doing stuff like this with the kids. I am just glad we have another year before he brings home the fourth grade science fair application.
