May: Science Fair Project

This year's science fair was an optional assignment for Hoover Elementary kids. Most parents chose not to have their kids do a science project. Andrew really wanted to do this so he went to the library and found a science project book and identified a project he liked.


First he measured varying amounts of liquid in cups.


Then he put one drop of soap in each cup.


Then he mixed each solution.


Here are his solutions. 1:1, 1:5, 1:10, 1:15, 1:20, 1:30, 1:50


Then he poured a solution onto a tray and blew bubbles, measuring the largest in each solution.


Some of the solutions were pretty big.


He ended up identifying the 1:15 solution made the best bubbles.


He then put a poster presentation together showing his results and he was pretty proud! I was proud of him for doing a project on his own! Great job Andrew!
