Kelli's 1st Science Fair Project


4th Grade is the first year Science Projects are a must!! I found out a week before it was due. I was not very excited about that. But Kelli and I put our heads together and came up with very simple but for science project. The title of her project is "sinking and floating". Kelli gathered several objects around the house. She predicted whether it would sink or float. And then put her hypothesis to the test.

Objects she chose

Writing down her findings

Will the apple float or sink?

It floated!!

Did you know that the only way to make coins float was to put them in a boat?

Kelli really liked this!!

So we had the idea, the hypothesis, the procedure, the observations, the results, and the conclusion, but no board to display the project. We live in Milford, UT - the middle of nowhere. We didn't want to drive an hour to Cedar City to get a board. So Randen said that he would help Kelli make one. He had some boards in his shop that would work. Randen told Kelli she had to help. And so she did.


Measuring length for side panels

Removing screws

Drawing lines to cut the side panels

She did not get to help cut. Power Saw!? She likes her fingers.

The data and the display board. Here is the final Project!!!




She is very proud of her project. And she should be. She did GREAT!!!
