School ProjectsMostlySunny wibbles, "When I was 11 I got an A for my study of shark nets - mostly because I handed it in cut out in the shape of a shark."
Do people do projects that don't involve google-cut-paste any more? What fine tat have you glued together for teacher?

ScienceWhen I was 8 years old our science teacher would "teach" us science by making us do projects. Over the course of that year I built:
1. A water filter (with an old tin, gravel, sand, etc)
2. A model car (with manilla paper)
3. A weather vane (with a tin, cardboard and some plastic bottle tops)
4. A weather chart (with paper, pen and ruler)
5. Germinated an avocado plant in a jam jar
6. Germinated beans in a tin
While "fun" at the time, I didn't realize that he was instilling in me a lifelong interest in engineering and building things. It was a real pity when, two years later, he became an alcoholic and spent entire lessons telling us to do "homework" while he slept on the desk.

Hmm. Depressing.Obviously you didn't build things as enthusiastically as you could have.
