Clay's 5th grade Science Project

First off --this entry is completely out of order. Keep in mind, I'm new to this blogging thing and don't know how to change the date. This project actually occurred in November of 2010.

It's that time of year for the dreaded science project. While most kids are doing projects like, "Which popcorn kernal pops the best", or, " Which bottle of soda will spray the highest when shaken", Clay (and DANE) decided to do a project on their favorite hobby... motorcyles. Both boys were really excited and felt they had a very creative project. They were testing out the difference in polution, noise and fuel, of a 4-stroke vs. a 2-stroke. Our friends, Curtis and Griffin Hall went with Clay and Dane to the Knolls to complete the tests. A little riding, a little project doing and a little more riding. After completing the tests, Clay was required to make this board with all his results. Finally, he took the board to school, where he presented it to a group of judges from Hill Air Force Base. He did fantastic and we were very proud of him. (And relieved to have it done!!!)
