Maddi and Wyatt both entered the Science Fair at their Elementary School. It was an optional thing that they both decided to do. Maddi did hers on which hairbrush is the best at getting tangles out? She tested 3 different types of hairbrushes on different girls with different lengths of hair. Not very "Sciency" but mom's fighting with daughters over brushing their hair out in the morning is a pretty common problem. She wanted to help find a solution. In the end it was determined that a brush with "boar bristles" is the best at getting tangles out without hurting too bad.
Wyatt did his project on racing objects in flowing water. He based this off of how much he likes to race sticks or random pieces of litter in a flowing raingutter or stream of water whenever he sees one. He wanted to test which types of material will go the fastest and therefore win the race every time. He determined that wood wins over plastic or styrofoam, likely because it is heavier, but not too heavy to sink. He won 1st place for the kindergarteners and is going on to the district competition. Way to go Wyatt!
