Budding Scientist

Juliana decided to participate in her elementary school's (non-competitive) science fair. Despite not knowing what to expect, she did great!  She chose to make crystals.  She is great at explaining her steps and did the whole project herself.  She even wrote all the steps as captions for her photos on her display board!  I served as a "judge" at the fair and got to go around and have kids tell me about their project and then award them with a ribbon!  Juliana had to explain her project to an adult she didn't know.  Great job Juliana:)  She says she wants to do it again next year!
