Fall has arrived and it's also SCIENCE FAIR time in my classroom. I had to select my project today (from 50 choices) and tell my teacher which one I wanted to do. I picked one about moldy cheese. I plan to call it "The Moldy Cheese Investigation"....I think that sounds really cool don't you?
I have to write my "hypothesis" (big word) by next week and answer some questions about the project...this is "real" science you know. It's a good thing I like to watch Sid, the Science Kid...maybe he'll have some answers for me...he knows something about everything.
In the end I have to present my "findings" (another big word) to my class. Mom says we will practice so we get it just right. Maybe Ileana and I can use Nana's video camera to record it and then she can put the it on my blog for you to see.
Actually, the rules say it's to be a "student" product...that means I have to do all the work.....my parents can only "supervise" the project. I think it means they have to buy all the stuff for me to work with. I told them I will need the cheese and also a lab coat, goggles and rubber gloves...can't be too careful with those mold spores you know. This is a BIG deal and it's even bigger cause it will be 50% of my grade... so I gotta work really hard on this one.
Okay my friends, wish me luck. I will post my findings as I go along. We might just get some really important stuff in this "investigation" that everyone really needs to know. Who knows, one day I might just go to MIT (like Uncle Steven) to continue my research. Wouldn't that be great! (Start saving your money Mom & Dad - MIT here I come).
Later,
Dylan (aka - The Mad Scientist)
