Science Fair this year was set for December 10, but because of scheduling conflicts it was moved to December 17. This was a good thing for the Selzer household considering that we tend to wait till the last minute to complete our projects. Abby and Zach actually chose topics very early on and went through their experiments. Abby discovered that her results could not be measured and Zach's experiment didn't work. After researching on-line Abby decided on an experiment involving yeast and the production of carbon dioxide. Zach had a hard time and finally with Daddy’s help he decided on an experiment. He tested how the slope affects the distance traveled by using a ball and a ramp. Deciding what to do seemed to take the most time because after decisions were made they both set to work and completed their projects and display boards. What a surprise it was to all of us when Zach won the award for "Science Genius" for the 4th grade and Abby was announced as the “Science Fair Overall Champion” for grades 4-6.
