ok, seriously, what is the point of first graders doing science fair projects???
she's handwriting it all, but i'm doing EVERYTHING else! they even sent home notes at the beginning warning parents to not do too much... and trust me, i'd be doing WAY less if it was possible... but how on earth is my 7yo supposed to come up with the hypothesis, procedure, bar graph, and results of a project that she didn't even get to choose?!?!
i'd be less bitter if they'd let us do the experiment that she came up with.. she wanted to see if cats or dogs could smell better.. we were going to hide food in the room and time each pet to see who smelled it the fastest... but NOOOOO.. no animal experiments
so she came home with the thrilling question of "does chalk dissolve?" or something like that. are you kidding me?!? i understand the marble/acid rain connection, but i hardly feel that we are accomplishing anything here
i'd be even less bitter if the freaking thing was working like we'd hoped.
