School Competitions

Sam competed in his first school science fair. He picked a project about volcanos because it sounded fun =) He was testing how the viscosity of different liquids affected their flow rates. It took a looooong time for the honey to make it through the bottle! He did a great job and was a finalist at school.

In Michael's history class, the kids are assigned an out-of-class project either individually or on a team and the theme this year was "debate and diplomacy". Michael and two friends, Matt and Cameron chose to do a documentary on the Iran hostage crisis. They worked really hard and ended up with an impressive documentary. They won first place in the regional competition, qualifying for the state competition. So off we went to Austin. They did a fantastic job and made it to the final round at state.
