All of these were projects I did. The science fair was supposed to teach us about the scientific method, but all it really taught me was to procrastinate and make up data. (Sorry, scientists.)

You might think, “Oh, but the science fair sounds like fun. I wish my school did them!”

Here were some of the flaws of the science fair:

First, we got the option to work with a partner. Working with a partner sounds like a good idea because you can split up the work and not do as much. Now, since I didn’t have any friends, in fourth grade I partnered up with someone no one else wanted to be with. Unfortunately, he didn’t do any of the work. He just blew off his part of the assignment.

That was enough to keep me from wanting to partner with anyone on anything ever again.

The second problem with the science fair was that we had to come up with a question to investigate all on our own. And you have to understand, we were just kids. We didn’t exactly have the cognitive abilities that scientists have.
