With a little coaxing and some extra credit, Kaleb decided to do Science Fair this year. After some heavy brainstorming, we came up with "soda rush-the effects of drinking soda on your heart rate." It's funny now, but Kaleb really chose this project because it allowed him the opportunity to drink soda 6 days a week. We only allow one soda a week as a house rule. In a nutshell he took his pulse, gave himself 5 minutes to drink 12 oz of soda, then took his heart rate 15 minutes after (2 times). He did this 6 days a week with 6 different soda pops and his conclusion was that Dr. Pepper elevated his heart rate the most. Unfortunately he didn't win an award but we are super ecstatic about his efforts in trying. I think we've convinced him to keep pursuing Science Fair in the future as he could win scholarships towards his education! We are so proud of you Kaleb!!!
Look at that handsome scientist...all smart, snazzy and professional. Maybe his findings can convince Aunt Kaye to give up her diet soda addiction...maybe! :)
