Science Fair

Tomorrow is the science fair at school and after the kickoff presentation where Jack had a chance to ride on a hovercraft, he decided he wanted to build his own. Yikes! I found a great website that had different levels of projects designed around building a hovercraft and finding out how they work. We successfully built a mini hovercraft out of a CD, a valve, and a balloon and it worked as intended by creating an air cushion to reduce the friction, allowing it to freely glide. It was a fun, easy project and I think he learned a lot. He has aspirations of building a "real" hovercraft that he can ride on. I think we may need Papa to help with that one!
