Science Fair

Science Fair 2010 and now I have two children doing projects! Garrett's group teamed up and did their project on whether white blood cell counts increased after being exposed to an allergen. In this case, Makoy was exposed to cats which he is allergic to and his white blood cells counts were measured. Yep, the counts were elevated! Their theory was proved and correct. Great job guys! In the pic. - left to right - Garrett, Makoy, and Jimmy.
McKenna and Baylee's hypothesis was that girls are better multi-taskers than boys. They had their science class answer a set amount of simple math questions while rubbing their tummies and patting their heads while jumping up and down. The girls times were better than the boys and the girls were able to perform the task more easily (the patting and rubbing) than the boys. I will just leave it at that - no further comments. They won 3rd place in the school for their project. Way to go!

Sun-Bow?

This is the scene that the kids went to school with Tuesday morning. We dubbed it the "sun-bow". The pics don't do it justice, but it was incredible!
