Held our first science fair our school has had that anyone can remember. It was a success but, as always, with a Georgian twist.
Only in Georgia could I have this type of science fair project. One student decided she wanted to test the relationship between exercise and heart rate with several variables. It was a very good starting point for her. You have to understand most of these students have never seen a science fair project much less participated in one. They also have procrastination down to a fine art. So she comes to school two days before the fair and says she has all her data but that she had to change it some, running out of time. So instead a test group of 20 the new project has three subjects: an athlete, a smoker and a normal person. She took their pulse, had them run 500 meters and then took their pulse again. (So far, okay.) Then she gave them a shot of vodka and had them run another 500 meter! Not only was an underage girl distributing alcohol to adults, the adults were her driver, her body guard and her body guard's brother-in-law! And one of them was 180 kilo – which is the reason she decided his pulse was high!
Now I’m tying a quilt for one of the aides. No stretchers here so I have it pinned to a Turkish rug and am crawling around n my knees tying 630 knots!
