As I've mentioned before, Enoch loves science. We try to encourage this obsession whenever we can and Science Fair is a great way to do that.
This year's project was Candy Catapult. Enoch chose eight different kinds of candy to launch from a wooden catapult.
He weighed the candy:
He had to weigh ten of each candy (because one candy was too light), divide that number by ten and record his results:
Now the fun part! He launched each candy three times. He did the launching and Greg did the measuring. We had to keep Guard from getting to the candy before Greg could see how far it flew. Not a easy task, and Guard was none too happy he wasn't getting any candy:
And, onto the board. Yuck - this is the worst part. Visual organization is not one of Enoch's talents, so, I admit, I help a lot with his board. He did do all the typing though. I thought it turned out well:
It's always a big sigh of relief when Enoch turns in his board. Another year over!
That night we were able to go to the school and look at our the projects. Guess what Enoch found in front of his project?
First place for the entire third grade! He was so excited! We are so proud of him!
