    I liked when they sent the balloon in the sky with the cinnamon roll. I thought it was a cool experiment.

    I loved Cindy’s project on piano notes, I thought it was so interesting how lower notes have slow low frequencies, and high notes have faster higher frequencies, it makes so much sense! It was amazing when she showed the 3 notes that sounded good and their wavelengths, vs the notes that didn’t sound good and their wavelengths! They line up, and sound much more pleasing to our ears, so cool!

    Do you have to be there in person, or can you do it online, since I do not think I could go to Kansas City, since I live in TN. The prizes are really interesting, and I think I know a good idea for the science fair!!!

    That was so interesting about the presentation that student made about the different wavelengths of different notes on the piano, and how when the wavelengths match up it provides a more appealing sound!

    Check out a few question:
    1. When did the first science fair begin?
    2. Did the cinnamon roll freeze while get to he ozone layer?

    I had the same question about Gold Key. Thank you for making it available to all of us students. The card and USB both sound awesome. It’s so hard to remember all the different passwords I need to use.

    I’ve only been to a few science fairs in elementary school so these fairs blow them away. The advanced projects that are presented makes a non science person like me want to check it out. Love the experiment with the cinnamon bun, surprised a bird didn’t grab it on the way up !

    The gold key is such a great concept, and the science fair project the boys did with the weather balloon was super cool and the cinnamon was a funny but unique idea.

    Reply

    I wanted to know what happened to the cinnamon roll? Did it survive the fall and were the protégés able to eat it? Are the protégés going to do more experiments in the future with the weather balloon? What was the temperature reading at the height the Balloon got up to before it fell? What other topics would be okay to do for a learning project? I’m still confused on what I could do for the science fair and how to go about doing it. Can Mr. Billings talk about other learning projects that students could do for the science fair? I would appreciate it.

    Facts of tonight; first national science fair was in the 1950s, with about 15,000 applicants. Only 30 of them made it to finals. In the 1960s the science fair was open for international competition.

    When I was 10, I visited a museum in Bolzano and got to see Ötzi in person! It’s wild to think that 3,000 years ago people weren’t that different from us and Ötzi was eating pancakes being one of the oldest mummies in the world. Hahaha!
    The Inventioneers sending a cinnamon roll to space the video of its flight and the Earth’s landscape was amazing!
    Also, the short clip of them singing Choosin’ Texas is so funny, it’s my favorite song at the moment.
    Thanks for today’s live! I really enjoyed it, also I’ll be ordering my GoldKey this week! 🙂
