November 6, 2009: My science topic is.................. Down Syndrome! I chose this topic becuase it is really close to my heart and i and i am very dedicated to it. Did you know that people with Down Syndrome have decreased muscle tone at birth??? Keep you updated with cool new facts!

November 10,2009: Today i am collecting information for my project and making a bibliography of my resources. I have collected a lot of information so far but i dont know what i am going to do for my final project. If you have an ideas for me please let me know! Thanks :)

November 11, 2009: Still looking for more info, and pictures for my physical project. Does anybody have any ideas for my physical project yet because i really really really need some ideas!

November 12,2009: Today instead of collecting information my class and i did a virtual knee surgery. And let me tell you it was DISCUSTING! Ewww! i cant even imagine doing something like that for really! AHHHHH

November 18, 2009 Our assignment for today is to state a problem that goes with our study and make it into a question, make a hypothesis, and test it. My question is: What is the best method for helping a child with down syndrome achieve successful socialization with other children?

​November 19, 2009 Today my goal is to find an expert in my study of down syndrome and contact them in hopes they will be willing to answer some of my questions and send me some information that will help me with my project.

November 23,2009 Im still looking for an expert of down syndrome to contact. Today im also going to find more resources and work on my bibliography. I have a cool idea for my project im going to do some tests with an average 6 year old and my 6 year old neighbor with down syndrome. These tests will be physical and mental, for example how long it takes both children to run from one point to another, how high they can count. Im really excited to see what the ending result will be!

November 24,2009 My goal for today is to find an expert in my study and find a way to contact them. Hopefully i will be able to send an email to them today! Yeah i found someone to contact! Im going to send an email tomorrow to the director of a Down syndrome clinic. I hope they reply! I will tell you if they do!

December 1, 2009 Today i am going to make a rubric, a glossary, and a bibliography. This weekend i am planning on doing the experiments with my neighbor and i will find time during the week to do the experiments with a kindergartener that i work with. Since our project is due on Thursday i need to start woking on my physical project bu that is the easy part.

December 5, 2009 Yeah! Almost done! I am now working on my final physical project and finishing up my experiments. I have already tested my 6 year old neighbor with Down syndrome and will test an average 6 year old girl with the same tests on Monday. After that i will finish up my physical project and i will be ready for the sciene fair on Thursday!

December 8, 2009 I only have two more things to do on my project make my glossary and glue my 2nd experiment on my board. Im really proud of how my project turned out at the beggining of the quater i would have never guessed i would have been able to finish all of this and make it look presentable! LOL

December 9, 2009 Finally! I have completed my whole project! Unfortunatley, this is my last post on my science page. :( i hope everyone enjoys my project, because i worked really really hard and long on it. :) BYE!
