Science Projects
By Amy | March 18, 2008
Yep, it’s that time of year again! Mel had to do a science project for his third quarter project (as in 30% of his grade). Of course it’s great to do these projects as a family and learn together.
Thankfully, he was given a specific subject (genetic diseases) for this one, so we didn’t have to figure out what to do. If you or your child have ever done one…coming up with the idea is like 75% of the “battle”!
His “disease” was Rett Syndrome. So we did a bunch of on-line research, printed out pictures of children affected and also of the DNA and chromosome breakdowns and put it all together on a giant posterboard with all of the information we came up with. (and Mel actually did do most of the “work” on this one!)
It was interesting learning about the disease, and he got an A+ on his project.
Now…we’re off to find something “original” to do the fourth quarter project on (yeah, we have a couple months….but we have to figure this one out by ourselves!)
I found some great inexpensive ebooks to help us in our dilemna!
