Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

This is a genuinely really cool science fair experiment. Too many science fairs encourage students to have grand, showy results that ultimately are just reproductions of existing experiments.
IMO science fairs should produce new data and new ideas, even if the methodology and rigor is lacking. It's the process that counts, not the results.
Also why the process might be lacking NOW with encouragement and recognition, those children could continue to work on their thesis and theories and make groundbreaking discovers in the future.
I rather we encourage the children showing creativity, curiosity and intrest in a subject, then the 5000 baking soda volcano or solar system display.
