The science fair project is completely done.  I think I am as glad as my son is to be done with it now.  I only did one science fair project when I was in school.  That one made me exhausted, too.  The sad part is not that I didn't get the best rating on my project but rather that I never understood where I had gone wrong.

Well, I think Seth did a pretty good job.  He came up with the idea for the whole thing completely on his own.  I read to him and took dictation from him.  He did all the work, including typing almost every word for the finished project.  He is participating in a cyber science fair where you do the complete project, take pictures, make a powerpoint presentation and submit that for judging.  We'll see what the judges think.

He started out knowing that he wanted to put water in cups and see how fast the water evaporates.  We studied a number of books about water.  He put a cup of water in several rooms, the refrigerator and the freezer.  Each day for two weeks he weighed the cups and took down the air temperature.  Then he did it all over again.

After it is all said and done I hope he realizes what he has accomplished.  He has done some serious thinking, he has shown endurance to complete the task, he has worked hard and made a nice display.   More than that I hope this will be like a "stone of rememberance."  I hope that as God calls him to greater things, Seth will know that God has given him the ability to think, to work and to complete the job.

I am proud of my son.  I am thankful to my God.
