Hi, My daughter is in 3rd grade and has a science fair (it's her first). It is due tomorrow and has everything done but the TITLE. The rules were 90 percent student and 10 percent parents, and my daughter did her experiments with me present, and completely trashed the kitchen!
The judging and all is tomorrow, and I saw one of the students in her classes project all completed. It looked like a college student did the project, and not the actual student. The terminology was so intense and boring, I don't know how the child understands it. The entire presentation was not an 8 year olds work.
Do you think I should help my daughters look like she did it or I helped too much?
Do you think the judges will KNOW that the student did not do the work at all?
My real question is WHAT do I have her put as her Question Title. She collects rocks and is fascinated and wanted to see if she could make her own crystals and where do they come from. She made her own rock candy, and began mixing ingredients to make big blobs of stuff by mixing it with boiling water and trying to get rock or crystal qualities. She even has one she says looks like a bee hive. She made rock candy with yarn in a glass and added color to it. She colored salts and made a horrendous thing out of epsom salts. She has several samples and how she made them and with what. She has a couple of samples of what happens when you add too much salt or sugars.
Can you help her think of the title question? She needs your Ideas
Thanks,
Mom
