It sounds like we have about 40 different projects being entered in the school wide science fair tomorrow - that is amazing!!! <i>Way to go!!!!!!!</i><br />
<br />
Do you want to see your project on display?<br />
Would you like to see what other people studied?<br />
Are you interested in finding out which ones the judges like best? <br />
<br />
Go take a look at the various entries to the YCSD Science Fair tomorrow, February 6th at the middle school in Yamhill. There is sure to be some amazing talent in that building! Go see what your friends turned in and maybe even get some neat ideas for next year!<br />
<br />
Thanks again to ALL of the parents and supportive adults to helped students during this entire process. <br />

You may want to ask yourself these questions:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did I follow the scientific method?</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did I determine my hypothesis?</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did I test my hypothesis different ways?</i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Did I document the results that I found?</i></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">??????????????????????????????????????????????????????</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are things that judges may consider when evaluating your experiment:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">use of scientific thought</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">creativity of approach</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">thoroughness of investigation and research</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">skill of experimental technique</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">clarity of expression in presentation and report</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Think about these things when you're preparing your display and presentation. Share what you learned as you went through the process of experimenting! Even if the experiment didn't turn out as you thought it might. :-)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">*************************************************<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The big event where we get to see everyone's experiments is right around the corner! Hopefully everyone will be finishing up their projects over the long weekend coming up.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Remember to enjoy the process of your science fair project!</b></span></div>
<div>
<i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There is so much to learn!!!</i></div>

<u><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 113%;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Experiment</span></span></u></h4>
<ol>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fill the bowl with
water.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;">Drop the bars of
soap in the bowl of water. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;">Notice how all of the bars of soap sink except for
the Ivory brand soap. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;">Why?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remove the Ivory
soap from the water and break it in half to see if there are any pockets of air
hiding in the middle of the bar. If there are, that would make the soap float,
right? But ... there are no pockets of air. Hmm ...</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Place the bar of
Ivory soap in the middle of a piece of paper towel and place the whole thing in
the center of the microwave oven.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cook the bar of
soap on HIGH for 2 minutes. Don't take your eyes off the bar of soap as it
begins to expand and erupt into beautiful puffy clouds. Be careful not to
overcook your soap souffle.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Allow the soap to
cool for a minute or so before touching it. Amazing... it's puffy but rigid.
Don't waste the soap. Take it into the shower or bath. It's still great soap
with a slightly different shape and size.</span></span></li>

<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;">Pour the apple juice into a bowl.
Mix the sodium alginate and sugar together in another bowl, then slowly add it
into the juice a little at a time while whisking it (do this in an electric
mixer if you have one) trying to avoid it making lumps. Add the food coloring
and whisk gently for 5 minutes on the slowest setting, then leave the mixture
to stand for 10 minutes as it thickens into a lump free gel.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;">Make up the calcium bath in a bowl
by mixing the calcium chloride and food coloring into the water and stirring
until dissolved. Pour the 250ml apple juice (for storage) into a bowl and set
aside.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;">Draw the syrup into a syringe and,
holding the tip of the syringe 10cm above the bowl, squeeze it slowly to drop
regular, steady drops into the calcium bath. Gently stir the water as you do
this to help the drops turn into spheres.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;">The little balls of "caviar" </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px; text-indent: -14.15pt;">shouldn't</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 130%; text-indent: -14.15pt;"> stay in the calcium bath for more than 3 minutes or they will solidify too much. After each syringe-full, scoop them up using a sieve or tea
strainer, rinse in a little cold water, then store in a bowl of fruit juice,
adding a few drops of the food coloring to match the color of the caviar
(otherwise the color will slowly fade). The caviar will keep for 2-3 days in
the fridge.</span></li>

<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">“Just
as a teaspoonful of water dropped into a bowl of vegetable oil forms a little
bubble of water in the oil, each drop of the alginated liquid tends to form
into a small sphere in the calcium solution. Then, during a reaction time of a
few seconds to a few minutes, the calcium solution causes the outer layer of
each alginated liquid sphere to form a thin, flexible skin. The resulting
'popping boba' or artificial 'caviar' balls are removed from the
calcium-containing liquid bath, rinsed in a bowl of ordinary water, removed
from the water and saved for later use in food or beverages.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
