Science Fair
I have known for awhile that there was a toddler/Primary science fair coming up, but thought they were making projects as a class. That may be, but Monday I learned we also should be making a science exhibit at home. The fair is this Friday.
In the car on the way home, I asked Lex what kind of science he was interested in. “Building robots!” Of course. “Bat bots! And the cape is a robot and it goes up. And…” He has something specific in mind. And it would have blasters, fight bad guys, and fly with a jet pack. And a robot cape.
We cannot make a Bat bot by this Friday. Instead I ordered a $5 “Nervous Grasshopper” solar powered robot kit. It is supposed to be relatively easy to assemble the “robotics” meaning no soldering. And when you shine a flashlight on it, it jitters around.
So today we will talk about Solar power. Tomorrow we will build a display box and find his flashlight. Thursday, build the bug. Friday, Science Fair.
