These Alligators Really Grow!


Hi, I'm Jack Spangler and I'm a kindergartner in Mrs. Riscoe's class at Wilder Elementary. My teacher invited us to all do a project in the school science fair. Mrs. Riscoe said that the first thing we had to do is to think of an idea. I asked my Mom and Dad for help and they helped me come up with a list of things that might be fun to do. I have a toy called a growing alligator. The instructions tell you to put it in water and it will grow, but the instructions never tell you how big it gets. The instructions also do not tell you how big the container of water should be or what kind of water makes the alligator grow the biggest. So, for my science project I am going to conduct three experiments to find out how to make a growing alligator toy grow the best.



Okay, let's be honest. I'm only 6 years old and I can't really type this much stuff into our computer. My Dad asks me questions and then he types my answers into the computer. Today, we made a video of the first part of my project so you can see what I'm doing. Every day I will come back and tell you what I discovered... so keep reading... and keep watching. By the way, my Dad is trying to teach teachers about the idea of blogging. You can see our interview on 9NEWS KUSA-TV from February 14, 2005.
