Alfano Archives: Nick's Science Fair

Nick had a science fair at school yesterday. He had been working for 2 weeks on it. They had a science log that they had to keep which is what most of their grade was based on. Nick choose to test 3 different stains and see which one would stain the worst after it had been washed 3 times. He chose coke, black marker, and paint. His hypothsis was that paint would stain the worst since it was so durable on walls. He was correct. He put together a presentation board with all his data and results plus a chatchy title for the presentation. He came up with "Who wants to be a super stain?". I thought he was really creative. The judges gave ribbons according to if the experiment was completed and they had gathered all the data, kept up with their logs and also interviewed each student in front of their presentation boards to test their knowledge of the experiment. Nick got a 1st place ribbon! We were very proud of him. His friend Angel did an experiment to see which cat food her cats liked best. She has four cats and in her summary about the experiment she said she learned that it is very hard to get 4 cats into 4 different rooms! I thought that was so true and funny! Angel's mom took Nick, Angel , and their friend Tyler out for ice cream afterwards. Lots of fun.
