Science Project Preview

I know, I keep tossing appetizers at you without ever getting around to the main course, but bear with me! I AM going to get a full spread of photos and detailed descriptions of Nicholas' science project adventures later tonight or tomorrow, but right now the kids just got home from school and they're hungry and I want to hang out with them a bit before I stick my nose in the computer and never come back up for air.  So here are a few pics of his experiment, Balloon Hovercrafts:
 Building the first model.


 Testing phase.


 Pretty much the whole reason why he picked this particular project; the balloons!


 Building the second model.


 Both models, accolades to whoever can guess which one performed better!


 It works!


 ...for five seconds!


Ok, this was totally a set-up pic to depict how he gathered his data!

So, those are pretty much most of the pictures I took of the whole process, but I promise to get back to you with pictures of the final presentation, his score and more details of his project (hint: he did well)!
Thanks for stopping by, love you guys!

  1. Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I'm very glad to see such wonderful information being shared freely out there.

  2. Thanks for the comment! You just motivated me to get the next post up and running - I can't wait to post the full story! It's a great project that kids can really understand and do on their own, as far as the scientific process goes. Good luck to you and please feel free to email me for more info!
