Science = Magnets and Fun

It was science fair time here...again. After two year of getting second, McKay finally got her first place. Kirsten had a lot more competition and took third. They both did great! McKay's project was an "Linear Magnetic Accelerator." She enjoyed putting it together and learning about it. I didn't enjoy all the pinches I got from not holding onto the magnets when I needed to.
Kirsten's project was on how magnets can repel and/or attract each other . Kirsten and Jake worked hard on their project three different evenings. They built a stool that you could keep adding weights and the bottom wouldn't touch, stating it was possible that magnets could lift her off the ground. She was feeling a little under the weather Thursday but insisted on going to school because this was her first science fair.
