a science poster with information about electricity and other things to see on the display board

As a fifth grade tradition, Daniel put together his first science project, and display board this year. His teacher spaced everything out, so that we weren't hit over the head with everything at once. We first came up with a lofty idea involving propellors and energy, but then came back to reality, and realized that may be more of a middle school project than elementary school project. His question..Which starch will produce the most electricity (voltage)? We used five different…

The Science Fair was Thursday. I spent seven hours at school on Wednesday, and was there most of the day between 8:15 am and 9:00 pm on Thursday. We had about 110 projects made by about 150 students, which was a great turnout, although less than last time. I know a few reasons why there were fewer entries this year, so I think there is a reasonable explanation for the drop-off. For K's project, he measured the voltages produced by various fruits and vegetables. He also created a cell battery…
