The Eggcelent Project!

 Owen is a winner.


A science fair winner.  And that's because he had an eggcelent project!  (Title courtesy of Ken.  ;))


His project was to find out if apple vinegar dissolved an egg shell faster or at the same rate as regular vinegar.  He and Shane got the idea to do the project from watching Steve Spangler's experiment on TV.


He found that the eggshell dissolved off of the egg at the same rate in both types of vinegar.


He thought he didn't win because the principal introduced the first place winner by saying "and the first place prize goes to the world's biggest Steelers fan!"  tee-hee.   He hates the Steelers.  :D

Owen and some of his classmates after the awards ceremony.


I talked with one of the moms who judged his class and she said that he rocked his interview with the judges and that's what put him over the top.  She said he really knew his project and they couldn't stump him.  :up:

But the best par of the whole projectt?  I paid Shane to help him do his project.  :cool:

Yes.  I'm brilliant. Now you're asking yourself why you didn't think to do that with your kids projects!

I knew Shane helped - when we saw the award picture we figured it was nice to have a brother who was good in science - you were very smart in your strategy !
