Dean, good question. Julia used to contribute to the Roseville Elementary School Brimhall achievement Fair which was similar in age range etc. They were very similar except there were no required bible quotes and at Roseville, being virtually an extention of the St. Paul Campus which includes the College of Forestry and Ag (etc.) and the interesting part of the Biology department, meant a sprinkling of highly advanced presentations.

As far as the semi-pro track of science fairs, where students go on and on to eventually compete sate wide and nationally, this was a wash-out but with some potential. The rabbit exhibit was probably science fair league or at least the research was heading in that direction.

Excellent way of going about this. Just have conversations and encourage the kids to keep thinking. No need to say anything even remotely controversial. Thinking leads to more thinking;-) You’re 100% right on target with your approach.

But now I like the Creation Science Fair for the very reason that the exhibits are of better quality…

How would you say it compares to the public school science fair? (Enthusiasm of the kids, their ability, quality of work, etc.)

Any evidence that, other than the limiting factor of the creationist influence of the home-schooled group, that one side or the other has better access to resources (or is that bound to the home-schooling?)

Do they still sell sheep? I’m looking for a source. Mine from a dozen years ago left farming altogether.
