Hannah's science fair project was centered around the iron that is in breakfast cereal. She picked three breakfast cereals that had varying degrees of recommend daily iron content. She soaked several cups of the cereal in big bowls for 45 minutes, stirred vigorously and then inserted a very powerful magnet that extracted all the iron that the soggy cereal released. It was a fun project. As a grade, she got 100 percent. In her class, nine kids got 100 percent. Four of them were selected to go to the school science fair (for 4th, 5th and 6th graders). Hannah's was selected. She won a blue ribbon among all the other top contenders. She would have preferred to be in the top 10 as she is ultra competitive and likes to win! After a few tears she was quite delighted with her blue ribbon and very motivated to be in the top 10 next year. (She was in the top 10 last year with her "Must it Rust?" science project.) I think she did a fabulous job! And we are all very proud of her!
Stay tuned for the next installment of science fair projects, entitled....
"How much POP is in a kilowatt?"
(Becca's project is due tomorrow!)

Great job Hannah! Oh i so remember those science project days. And can I just say, I don't really miss them at all!!!
Did actual iron come out of the cereal onto the magnet? That's just gross! I prefer to think of my vitamins and minerals as being invisible. Congratulations on doing so well, Hannah!
