We measured vitamin C in fruits for a project. This year started off with a project about whether the same food in different colors is perceived as a different flavor but, well, the whole testing on people thing didn't work out (not enough people) and was too indefinite for the fair.
Science fair is required for middle school 'challenge' science (read: extra projects) and oh, the conundrums:
Do we do something interesting but hard?
Something easy we know the answer to?
Something we're interested in, but doesn't follow the rubric to the letter?
What if we're making it too complicated? (We are.)
Is it wrong to do an easy projects? Do we play the game or not?
What are they LOOKING for anyway?
And on and on and ON....:'(
Actually, this is how we do every project, ugh.
And how does one dispose of iodine?
