Science Fair

Courtney wants to do EVERYTHING!  This year she wanted to do the science fair and was really excited about it.  She figured out what she wanted to do and finished the research in a couple of days but kept putting off doing the board.  The weekend before it was due she and I sat down and figured out what to do.  Her project was on the "Kiki-Bouba Effect."  This states that when someone looks at a pointy object they automatically will name it "kiki" and when they look at something round-ish they will automatically name it "bouba."  Courtney cut out shapes, took them to school and asked her classmates what they thought.

We typed out all the information, printed it and then Courtney put it all on a board.  It turned out really well.

The night before the science fair we went to the school to drop off her board.  There weren't too many students who entered this year so there was a great chance she would place.  The next day she talked to the judges and showed them everything.  That night we went to pick up her board and she had gotten 3rd place.  I was excited for her.  She wasn't too thrilled because....there were only three kids in her grade who entered.  But still, I think she is further along than the kids who didn't even try!
