I was invited to the U of U campus where all of the kids from around the State of Utah had their science projects on display. It was interesting to walk around and see all the creative projects that the students (and I’m sure parents) came up with. One that interested me was about golf balls. Neal, Tucker, Jeff G. and Greg would have all been interested in this one. The student did testing on whether it is worth the extra money to buy more expensive golf balls as apposed to cheaper one. The students are not allowed to compare name brands, just the product. The outcome? A good (and I think ‘good’ is the operative word) will get more distance and more accuracy with a more expensive golf ball. So, I guess when you pay a little extra for those golf balls you should experience a much better game. I’ve always told dad that it is the Indian not the arrows, but maybe there is something to say about the arrows as well!
Abby’s project was comparing germs in different animals mouths and she also included the human mouth. The outcome? Hamsters have the cleanest mouths by far and cats, dogs and humans are the worst. How do you feel being compared to a dog and cat?
After the exhibit I had just enough time to treat us to lunch at The Training Table and then back to work.
