Science Fair project

Tonight we had the privilege of going to Modesto to the County Science Fair Awards ceremony. Jordynn's project, which had advanced from school to the county won a GOLD medal! Yay!

I forgot to bring my camera, or else I'd be able to post pictures of her receiving the medal, along with the project's big blue ribbon on it. I'll post those later.

When we arrived tonight, Jordynn's project had a little note attached, advising us to check with a woman in charge. She told us that there were 192 science projects, and they were requesting to keep the top 8 to display in the county district building for 3 weeks. Jordynn's was one of these top 8. In fact, her score was 98/ 100!

Some credit, of course, goes to dad who helped out with the construction of the launcher, mom helped with computer details, and Aunt Kristi helped out with graphics. Here is a picture of her actually conducting the experiment and the poster board before she turned it in.
