Ben started his end of the year project for Science in January. He is finally finished! Amen! His project was "Grape to Raisin". He had 4 different environments in the house and set out grapes in each one to see which environment was most conducive to making raisins. It was a difficult feat, let me tell you when you have a dog that's always hungry.
He included pictures of the grapes each week, information about the dehydration process, nutritional info on both grapes and raisins, even a survey of the 7th graders in his class asking them if they prefer grapes or raisins to eat. To add a nice touch, he even drew a California Raisin character... Nice Job, Ben!!
The surprising final result was that the grapes that were in the dark, cool closet were the first to turn into raisins....and we had predicted that the ones in a window sill in the sun would turn first...hmmmm. I guess we all learned something from this project!!! Jill
