SPRING BREAK - SCIENCE FAIR PROJECTS


Spring Break is fast approaching! For me it will be a time to begin preparing for National Dental Boards.

While in Public School - each year I used the Spring Break time to vacation and decide on a subject for my SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT - these were a 'big deal' in most WVa Counties.

My first 'award winning' project was about BLENKO GLASS - I was probably under 11 years of age. I spent about sixteen hours at BLENKO, taking photos and talking with Mr. Richard and Mr. WH Blenko. The Science Fair judges were impressed with the information I was given while visiting Blenko.

Blenko Glass could be a topic for a (1)chemistry based project (2) social science (3)art . .depending on your child's interest and area of exploration.

If your child hasn't decided on a subject - consider a visit to The WV Cultural Center's exhibit BLENKO - West Virginia's Gift to America or/and a visit to Blenko in Milton, . Blenko photographs beautifully and you and your child will be helping to promote The only Stain Glass Manufacture in the United States, and the maker of West Virginia's finest tableware. The West Virginia Cultural Center exhibit BLENKO -West Virginia's Gift to America is open until June 3rd.
