Thanks, hilarious. Some schools make science fairs optional, some make them optional but prod students into doing a science fair project, and some *require* kids to do one whether they want to or not. Which is terrible. And which results in terrible, uninspired science fair projects like these. If 1/10th of the elementary students in the U.S. did science fair projects each year, they’d be 10x as good each year.

Maybe dogs can see in color, but they can’t look up.
9 KingKha // Feb 19, 2008 at 10:35 am
I think that says “some say creation”, her head’s in the way. Also, dogs have the equivalent of red-green colourblindness, so they can’t distinguish between green and red objects

51 Elvis Julep // Feb 19, 2008 at 4:18 pm
The last one is the funniest by far, because the imagination conceives the most absurd events that led to the “project”. I imagine the guy forgot about his science project until bedtime the night before, then frantically grabbed two house plants, a bottle of Mt. Dew, some stray pieces of printer paper and a Bic pen. He juiced up plant A with a healthy dose of soda and scrawled out about about 15 lines of “data”, along with what barely qualifies as a title. He stuck it all on a spare piece of poster board and voila! Instant F!

Nataly: An ‘urgent need for the parents to be behind the children’? Why? Do you think they’re bad projects, or that they didn’t do the work themselves? ‘How to start a dot com’ could be a useful science project. As long as he went into the science and broke down the syntax and different components of and not just the formating and fonts used when creating a site, it’s legit.
The ‘Who’s Your Real Daddy’ experiment, on the other hand, was stolen from Gilmore Girls. She gets an F for PLAGIARISM!!

Don’t blame the science teachers…they can only do so much with what mama sends them. It’s not like college or professional coaching…you can’t go out to recruit the best. Take it from someone who spent 32 years trying to teach science in a public school. It’s not as easy as you might think. It’s a battle with stupid parents and stupid administrators not just with the kids themselves.

I suspect many of these projects are the science teacher’s fault.
In grade 6 I did my science project on volcanoes. Some weeks later I brought in my “UFO newspaper clippings scrapbook” for show and tell and the teacher asked me why I didn’t do my science fair project on UFOs “given that you have so much good evidence and research.”
At age 11, I thus had to explain that News of the World articles weren’t exactly evidence and that the UFO thing was just for fun.

I’m not really sure what is everybody is laughing (or crying) about. As someone who has taught 6th through 12th grades over the past seven years, I can assure you all that all of this is par for the course in public schools. I’m sure the science teacher (if indeed these are just from one school) was happy just to have students turn something in. I’ll let you in on a little secret: we teachers don’t really teach anything anymore; we just babysit. And don’t blame us either. With all the new legislation concerning Special Education, No Child Left Behind, and attendance law, there is very little we can do about anything. The thing that discourages me the most is that I didn’t see a single volcano in the entire site!
For what it’s worth, my interpretation of the intended humor on this site is the ironic naming of the projects–not so much the content of the experiments.

I really don’t see how science teachers need to be pitied. I think these kids have done a great job! It’s inspiring and some of these kids look very proud and rightly so! Go team!
At least these kids are thinking about things and science. And that’s an improvement over 90% of the Adults in America, who basically do not think at all or ever. That may be why we ended up with president Bumble in the white house for the past 7 years.

163 Nikita Nikolaev // Feb 21, 2008 at 8:16 am
I guess the only good one I found was “what’s my dog’s favourite colour”, for the fact that dogs cannot distinguish colours is still quite a lot controversial. In fact, I have noticed a few times that my dog reacts to different colours; I haven’t specifically looked at its behaviour with respect to colours, nor have I ascertained that it was indeed because of the colours, hence that’s inconclusive.
Everything else is…. hum… for the lack of a better word… what are these children taught at school after all? I say this isn’t their fault (that their projects are absolutely meaningless), it’s the teacher’s fault. Really!

170 D. Snider // Feb 21, 2008 at 9:32 am
Does Bill Cosby know that kid has been raiding his sweater closet?? This is a particularly ugly subset of preteen/teenaged kids, but since science fairs tend to select (unless it’s compulsory) for kids who are, shall we say, more inwardly developed, it’s not a fair sampling.
My only regret is that I can’t see more of the “Moon Babies” poster, perhaps it’s autobiographical.
171 ank // Feb 21, 2008 at 9:39 am

172 wd // Feb 21, 2008 at 10:10 am
While it is funny to us, China and India must be laughing themselves silly over it. Now I know why 60+ percent of Americans don’t ‘believe’ in evolution and why people think that a scientific theory is the same as ‘a notion’. Part of the problem is we don’t teach science in this country for the most part, we have someone in front of the classroom droning on about a laundry list of information (water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen, fire is rapid oxidation, the human cell contains 46 chromosomes, an object in motion will stay in motion., et al) kids spit back, and that is science. Kids aren’t taught that science begins, ends and begins again with a question, they aren’t taught to think things out for themselves or that science never claims that something is absolutely true, and more importantly, that scientific theory is not a guess, it is somethning that has achieved critical mass of consensus and has evidence and process to back that up, as well as people constantly looking at it and saying ‘what am I missing’.
These projects show none of that, they show kids who don’t have a clue what science is or how you go about it; instead of learning that, which is the valuable lesson, they learn a bunch of crap that can be spit back on some stupid test. No wonder that more then a majority of americans think creationism should be taught as science, they don’t even have a clue what science is, and I blame the science teachers as much as I do the students. Even at private schools, science before the high school level is a joke, and even much of that is ‘learning facts’ for tests such as the AP and not what science is.
And we wonder why high tech jobs are going overseas, the kids in these photos would struggle to work at WalMart.

Why are people saying mean things about the kids. it’s one thing to criticize the actual projects but by calling them ugly and saying things about their clothes, is that going to make the project any better? If they were “cuter “by your standards would their projects make more sense? Why don’t one of you that have mean things to say about the kids do a research project to see if the way someone looks or the clothes they wear have an effect on ones learning ability.
