Thanks - I was surprised that the results did not get posted quickly on the science teacher's web page but I have no idea of how busy she is. Had I stuck around for the public portion of the fair I might have heard. Perhaps they downplayed the awards.

Were you a Simpson's fan back in the day? I always think of myself in that episode when the teachers all went on strike and Lisa was losing her mind - "Grade me! Graaaaaaaaaaaaade me!"<br /><br />It's awesome that you provided your time for those kids, though, especially the ones who stuck around for the show.Jenehttp://theoriginalbean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-7318487288115085592012-04-19T10:37:15.218-05:002012-04-19T10:37:15.218-05:00 ROFL - thanks - I hope to use this pic soon. &q... ROFL - thanks - I hope to use this pic soon. "Thus" vs. "Therefore" is a tough choice.

He chose to compare the amount of time it took for different brands of breath mints to dissolve in your mouth. Luckily, he only had to display the statistics on a presentation board, he did not have to demonstrate them for a panel of judges. That would have been weird.

Because I could draw, the <br />nuns at the parochial school I attended had me making giant murals and creating <br />bulletin boards during both math and science. (To this day, I can't calculate to <br />save my life, either. So, don't ask me to.) Thus (<--Don't you just love it <br />when somebody uses the word "thus"?!), my knowledge of science is limited to two <br />things: I can spell the word "science" and I collect pictures of <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-u3k3T4UU3KI/T1PdqxIHlPI/AAAAAAAADvA/Rgx6rXPsALM/s1600/mad_scientist.jpg" rel="nofollow">mad <br />scientists</a>.
