Eli's school had a science fair and because he is in ALPS, his entire class participated. I was so proud of him to come up with the ideas, methods and plans. Jared worked on the protocol and I helped him write it and bring it together.
We started with a honey oil and asked Eli if it would sink or float in water. He guessed that because of the thickness, it would sink.
We tested cornstarch, oil and honey oil for viscosity (timed it in a funnel) and then weighed each liquid. He learned that weight was an indicator for liquids floating, not viscosity. What made me so proud was that he did it and was interested. He did argue with the writing, but he did it!
