Tanque Verde Elementary School Science Fair WINNER!!!!!
Wow, both Zane & Max won the Science Fair at school. This means they qualify for SARSEF, the southern arizona science fair, coming in March. Zane's project was why doesn't a bird get shocked when it sits on a wire. He and his Dad rigged a bird & wire on a circuit board. Very cute!
Max's project was about Fibonacci sequences and where they occur in nature. Promise to get pictures of that later.

For their 7th Birthday Party, but boys chose to have a Mad Science party.

Here is Frank doing Mento's Rockets.

Here are all the party goers offering their scientific expertice on how best to set up the soda rockets.

At our party we had "Make your own Snow", a grand experiment for Arizona.

Here are John, Mia & Addie making snow.

We also made Glow-in-the-dark Slime, here are Luke, Conner and Zane, assisted by Jen making slime.

And here the kids are learning about Indication Chemistry, using purple cabbage juice, vinegar, baking soda and baking powder.
Here are Kate, Dylan, Charlie and Scott learning about Chemistry.

Here are Max & Chace making balloons that blow themselves up, using baking soda and vinegar.

I think everyone had a great time & I think they may have actually learned something.
