Blake's Science Fair Project

Blake decided to do a science fair project which involved using fish. Both of us were against this for quite a few reasons. Blake finally talked us into it. He took two goldfish and kept them in separate tanks. Then he took them both into a dark room and shined a black light on one fish. His hypothesis was:  Do fish turn black, white, or stay the same color by shining a black light on them or does darkness have the same effect? He predicted that shining fish one who he named Rockstar with the black light would turn white. Rockstar didn't turn white and unfortunately he passed away. Monster aka fish two did not turn white either when he was left in the dark room. Yesterday afternoon the parents were invited to see all the science fair projects at the school. There were some great ideas and then quite a few how quick does an ice cube melt and what cleans a penny projects! The kids did a great job. And I'm happy to report that Monster is doing well and lives in an aquarium on my kitchen counter!
