Of course I meant 2 kinds of fruit. Although it would be funny if he had been dropping kids.;-) <BR/><BR/>We also had a debate on whether the moon affects tides, one science fair project found it did, the other found that it did not. Third graders are too much fun.<BR/><BR/>The principals are fans of science fairs. Last year they wanted to have a Living Museum, where kids learned all about a science subject and made a sign with a pretend button. Parents would then wander the campus and "push' the pretend buttons causing the child to spew what they knew about the subject.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239123267984420065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-67541986277958291002007-06-18T18:39:00.000-07:002007-06-18T18:39:00.000-07:00nbosch . . .Actually, I'm a Jayhawk as well; hubby...nbosch . . .<BR/><BR/>Actually, I'm a Jayhawk as well; hubby is a Wildcat.

But, I might as well have since I failed the assignment anyway by doing a report and not a project. : )Karen Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06132085963945807124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691251033406320222.post-16616718525994040412007-06-18T18:14:00.000-07:002007-06-18T18:14:00.000-07:00And here's the funny one: a child made a project i...<I>And here's the funny one: a child made a project in science (8th grade) researching the best place to hide the money on a person.
