Today was the science fair at school. The older girl and her partner decided to do a project on the digestive system. It was really neat. It showed all the organs and they had info on what they main ones do, and they were able to answer any questions regarding them too. They also had a demonstation on how the digestive system works. They put some corn into a bag (the stomach) with some vanilla (that was the stomach acid) and smashed it up; then dumped it into a strainer (the sm. intestines) to get all the juice out (that was the nutrients) and everything left in the strainer was waste that then went to the large intestines (another bowl) and then out of the body. Oh and to show what happens then actually had a working poop shot at the bottom of the display that shot out malted milk balls. It was a really neat display. Ok so ya I'm the mom I have to say that, but it was cool, they even had examples of how long it takes various people to digest there food (using corn of course).
So anyway the judging was during the school day and tonight was to open house/awards. And I am really, really glad that I can't the scout meeting so that I could go to this thing, cause guess what....
Ya you guessed it, they took first place for they grade!!! In fact they had a perfect score, the only one in the whole school!!
