Ages 6 to 12 Try to Win a Scholarship with Peanut butter?

(Be sure to have parent or guardian permission.)
Work a chance at winning a scholarship into your science lesson. Talk about balanced nutrition, peanuts and where they fit into the food pyramid, how they can be part of good nutrition, what proteins and fats are , and other peanut butter - science related topics.

Then, learn about a scholarship for the "Most Creative Peanut Butter Sandwich," at Jif.com.

Create some sandwiches, take pictures. Eat a great lunch, wash up, and then,... enter the contest.


USA only... (But, perhaps you know of some scholarship opportunities in other countries we can post here???)

Deadline: 11-14-08. Do your best. Good luck.

Science Meeting Link

Here is a link to science meeting software. You may find it useful. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, so, if you are familiar with it, please leave a comment. Perhaps it is useful for arranging a science fair, or, keeping track of references for your research.

Thank you for any evaluations.

Kestral Naming...

Do you know what a Kestral is? You can find out lots of ways. One way is to visit http://wildwings.org. Recently they have had a naming ceremony for a new kestral.

Do you have a plant or animal story to tell? Try writing it out and then telling a few friends. Take some pictures, or draw some, to accompany your story.

A parent or guardian can submit your story in the comment section.
