My ds9 is very interested in doing a project for the science fair in the late winter. He has proposed original experiments and talked about doing one or another famous experiments, chemistry, physics, etc.
Just curious if in general science fairs at this stage are usually ok with a child recreating a famous experiment --- I see lots of books of ideas for science fair projects, so I would assume recreation of experiments will be ok (?)
And I know this likely varies from school to school, I need to find out how much they are asking for in the 'unique and new' department. After typing this, I am thinking I need to make sure ds knows it's a learning opportunity and not a contest, but he is already asking about how to 'win'. Aaaaaah.
