National Science Olympiad

You may have noticed that my blog was not very active during the month of May. That is because at the end of May my son competed in the National Science Olympiad for his middle school. The competition was held at the University of Indiana in Bloomington, so it was a great experience for all of the students. He participated in 4 events finishing 15th and 16th in the nation in two of them and 6th in the nation in Dynamic Planet and 8th in the nation in Food Science (the subject which we taught.) Needless to say we were very busy and very proud.
