I can't say it enough-I hate science and science fair projects! Another example of why I would never be a good homeschool mom!

Science Fair Projects
Can I just say I hate Science Fair Projects?! First I bought the wrong size board-I thought they only came in 1 size. Eric picked a project that is interesting-Do playing violent video games affect your heart rate? Problem is, Eric doesn't play violent video games and so he has to find 10 friends who do and test them. Fortunately his teacher said he could only use E and Teen games (no mature games). He tested Mario and I but we weren't into the games at all so our heart rates didn't increase at all. Erin picked out a really cool project but her teacher rejected the idea and told her she had to compare 3 objects. She wasn't sure what to do so she decided to just see which kind of apple turns brown (oxidation) quickest. She wanted to research oxidation but her teacher wouldn't allow that either. So she and I are stuck with a project that is really boring to her. Hopefully next time she will think about it in advance and pick something that interests her (and get it approved by her teacher).

When I read the title of this post, my heart skipped a beat! Not looking forward to those!
You would do just fine being a homeschool mom, since you already do a lot with the kids.
I also HATE science fair projects!!! Ethan is in the middle of one right now, watering plants with different temperatures of water to see if it affects them...interesting? Not sure if it really matters but thats what he wanted to do...we'll see how it goes.
