FUSD Science Olympiad 2009

This year Kiara and Katia were chosen to represent their grades in the school's science club. They participated in a school competition a couple months ago and were able to move on to the district level of competition. Today they held the Florence Unified School District Science Olympiad at Anthem K-8 and they both were on the same team but in different groups. Kiara participated in the Rock and Mineral, Clay Boat, Egg Drop, and Solar System events, while Katia did the Clay Boat, Write It - Do It, Can Racer, and Mystery Architecture events. They both had alot of fun as did Scott watching them. The event had a group of 'Mad Scientists' that showed the kids some fun they can have with science. They both made slime and were able to touch foam that disappeared when you touched it. It was amazing all the things you can do with dry ice. It was a great event. By the way their team took FIRST for the elementary teams and now they will be able to participate in the county competition. Long Live Science!
