City Science Fair 2005

Sadly, Joshua didn't place in the city-wide science fair competition. :-( To add insult to injury, the 4th grader who placed first in the individual projects category had a very similar electromagnet experiment. Joshua - whom, I might add, had no expectations whatever of placing in the school competition - he felt he was robbed!

Joshua's killer display.
I had to beg to get Joshua to smile.
But you can see how he really felt.
Look! It still works!

So, in 3rd grade Joshua placed 3rd in the 2004 school science fair. In 4th grade he placed 2nd and got to go to the city competition. I told Joshua he'd better get 1st place next year or I will trade him in.
