Science Fair & History Project - MANIA

About a month ago I asked students to think of a science project for the science fair. 
A couple of stipulations: 
They were to provide a typed scientific method that supported their research & they needed to tell how their project effects the environment. 
Other than that, I was able to let them choose what interested them the most! 
Wow, the results exceeded my expectations drastically! 
Thank you to parents who were involved and to kids who did it on their own, way to go!
Chandler wanted to know if you could break your jaw on a jawbreaker. Well, it's true! You can! Your jaw can put about 100 pounds of pressure on any item. A jawbreaker cannot be broken with less than 1,000 pounds of pressure! Who knew?
As the kids listen, they respond to the presenters.

Will was able to store enough solar energy to light up a couple of Lego houses! Rad! 
If you haven't seen it yet, you have to stop by and take a look at their projects! Wow! 
Caidyn made me nervous to drink water! IF we're not careful, it could be contaminated with oil or other toxic pollutants.
One more view to lure you into the wonderful world of science!
Some of the flags made by the kids today in history class. We are studying Latin America.
