Another set of photos I forgot to post in a timely manner...Kenneth and Evelyn both participate in the GT program at school. In the Spring, the kids choose a topic on which they work independently, only at school. As parents, we pretty much just provide the materials and show up to project night.
Evelyn chose the topic of volcanoes. She researched the types of animals that live near volcanoes, and incorporated that into her model and Power Point presentation. Kenneth chose Thomas Edison because he was interested in how he invented the phonograph. He found a website that showed him how to make his own phonograph using a pencil, a record, a piece of paper rolled into a cone, some tape, and a needle--it really worked; that is, the phonograph generated variants of noise, but to make the record sound, the user would have to apply a consistent spin speed.
