Enoch has always loved science. He has this undeniable need in him to understand things around him. He has a hard time accepting my answer of, "That is just how Heavenly Father made it." He wants to know why, how. He is very good at not just understanding individual concepts, but he can formulate on his own of how things work together and effect each other.
His teacher, Mrs. Simpson, is in charge of the Science Fair at his school. When she started talking about it, he asked if he could do a project on volcanoes. We have been super busy at our home lately, but I didn't have the heart to tell him no to a great educational opportunity. Unfortunately, we got a late start on his project, so he wasn't able to build a volcano. After talking about different parts of a volcano, Enoch decided to focus on plate tectonics. He learned about different ways volcanoes are formed. He is particularly interested in underwater volcanoes and how they create islands.
Enoch is very meticulous in his work. You wouldn't think it, but Enoch is a perfectionist. He did such a careful job of coloring his pictures and writing his definitions. He was so excited to glue everything onto his board. Greg got out his laser level so everything could be lined up and Enoch really like using the rubber cement to glue things on.
Enoch won a third place ribbon for his project! He has taped his ribbon to the outside of his bedroom door. We are so proud of him.

Way to GO Enoch--Looks Great. Be careful not to blow you top(a Joke-Ha,Ha). We will be able to see some old Volcano remains when we go to California. Grandpa Randall
Good job Enoch. That looks amazing, I bet you did it all on your own :)
You are a thinker, Enoch! That is such a great quality to have. You will always be learning. I am proud of you! I love you, too!
