I've been incredibly disappointed at the 'science fair' entries that we've seen. Most of them have been 'market research' projects - which bottled water tastes better, what brand of paper towels absorbs more water. I walk through, becoming more and more appalled by the minute, and biting my tongue. Then I go home and tell myself that at least they're learning the scientific methods. No, A's science fair entry wasn't market research. It was actually a very cool theory that he and his dad came up with. They just failed a little on the execution and data collection. But I wasn't part of the project, so I kept my mouth shut there too.
