Discovery Fair

Well, Tuesday was the Discovery Fair at Solace's school. It is like a science fair, but no winners and losers, and nobody is required to do it. Nonetheless, lots of kids do. Solace's project was project #88. I think there were over 100. She wanted to know if you could x-ray things other than bodies. She and Wes picked out some things around the house to try and x-ray. When they were done, they looked at them and Solace asked Wes why some parts were so white. She learned that the more dense and object is, the brighter it looks on an x-ray. Here is her project and some of the x-rays. See if you can guess what she x-rayed. Leave your guesses as a comment!


X-ray 1
X-ray 2
X-ray 3
X-ray 4
X-ray 5
X-ray 6 (there are actually 7 things X-rayed on this one, but you cannot see all 4 things on the bottom left part. Just guess as many as you can)
X-ray 7
X-ray 8
X-ray 9
How many can you guess?

2. eggs
3. notepad
4. matchbox car
5. Teddy Bear
6. pill bottle, pens, cup, bouncy ball

What a great project! She's lucky to have Wes as a dad (and you as a mom!)

Very cool. The next part is for Solace from her uncle Ty...he uses x-rays all the time at work. They are the best resource to decide if something is a bomb or not.

Thanks for re=inviting us to your blog. I was impressed by Solace's project. I guessed the same as Andrea except, I thought #3 might be a furnace filter. After viewing Andrea's comment, I think she is probably right. We don't have blog yet and maybe never will, but we really enjoy viewing yours.
Love,
Grandpa Nelson
