School Science ProjectsI remember that I had to do quite a few school science projects while I was in school. I used to get really excited about these because I was very interested in science. My grades were not always that great, but that did not mean I was not interested in what I was learning. There were some years when I would have to do a project and I would have no idea what to do. Other years, I would be so excited about my project that I would start long before our teachers even began to talk about it. I don’t know if that makes me a geek, but this is what I did. We started doing school science projects a very young age and my school system. I believe the first year I did one was in fourth grade. I’m not sure if this is early or not, but the school science projects that we put together were not mandatory. I asked my teacher why they were not necessary for a grade, and she told me that many students would not be able to put together science projects that were very complicated. It was more of a trial run for when they would be something that had to be done for grade in later years. I remember quite clearly the very first of my school science projects. I had no Idea what I was going to do, and I ended up with very little time to do it. My mother was going to school at the time, and she also worked the night shift. This meant she did not have a lot of time to help me, and there were no other adults in my life that could help. I ended up using a glass of water and a straw. I can’t remember exactly what I was trying to prove with it, but the project was about how a finger placed over a straw full of liquid will hold the liquid in even when the straw is removed from the cup. I am very grateful that that project was not graded. As the years went by, my school science projects became more complicated. At that time my dad had time to help me, and this is when I put up my best projects. He would often help me come up with an idea, and would help me work through whatever theory it was I was working with. If I had to build something complicated he would always want to assist me. Unlike many other parents though, he would never do my school science projects for me. He was always there for the help I needed, and to offer me encouragement, but he would never have dreamed of allowing me to miss out on this learning experience. If your children have school science projects coming up, remember that they need to learn from these and try to let them do the major thinking on their own. This is an article snippet Read more
