Jaden - Wolves
My topic is on wolves. I chose this topic because wolves are the closest relative to my favorite animal (dogs). After everything was complete I taught 5th graders. What I did was introduced myself. I told them why I was there, and why I chose my topic. Then I told them about my display board and 3d model. After that they asked really good questions like - has a red wolf ever met a gray wolf? I really enjoyed teaching them. What I learned about researching is it's not all fun and games. Also, some of the facts on the Internet are not true. Next year in AIG I would like to study wild cats because some of them have an endangered status. Thanks for reading goodbye.
Logan - Lighthouses of North Carolina
My name is Logan. The topic of my expert project is Lighthouses of North Carolina. I chose this topic because I went to the Outer Banks this summer and visited some of the lighthouses. I had to look up stuff about lighthouses.when I thought my project I talked about the stuff on my board and then talked about my model. I learned a bunch of stuff about lighthouses. One of them was that Cape Hatteras was supposed to look the way Cape Lookout looks. It happened that way because the artist got his plans mixed up. I might do my project next year on something I do this summer.
Roger - UFOs
The topic of my project is UFOs. I chose this topic because I've had some personal experience with UFOs so I wanted to learn more about it. What I did is I researched the Internet for information and pictures. Then I printed it out. Then lastly I posted them on my board. I learned that to do this project is you have to stay on task. I might do my project on pirates next year since I've always been interested in them.

Emma - Cheese
My name is Emma Nunn and I'm in Mrs. Boone's 5th grade class. The topic of my 2010 expert project is CHEESE! I truly chose this topic randomly but I always loved cheese. I wrote a report on cheese-making and a power point on cheese around the world. A fact poster and tri-fold on cheese. I didn't know cheese had such an expanded view on math and science. The next time I do a project I want it to be on the mathematical way on how circuits work.
Cameron - Chapel Hill
My name is Cameron Huggins. The topic I chose was Chapel Hill. I chose this topic because it is my favorite university and is the oldest college in the U.S. I did my project by researching the topic,doing a story board,interview of someone who just graduated and someone who graduated a long time ago,and did a 3-D model of the Bell Tower. I learned a lot from this project like how much it costs to each year and the buildings. I plan next year to do my project on Michael Jackson.

Sierra - The Mars Company
Hannah - Jelly Belly
My expert project is about the Jelly Belly Company. I chose the Jelly Belly Company because they make my favorite type of candies. In my project I had to make business cards, a 3-D model of Mr. Jelly Belly, and I had to design my expert project board. Researching a world wide candy company was a huge project to work on. I had to research how much money they make for the average of their company's profits. For the math fair I would like to do wingspans of birds and use their wings as pictures as algebra problems. The wingspans of the birds will also use the order of operations.
