How to Work on a Sixth Grade Science Fair Project: Now with ADHD!

I am saving Part III of my pet saga for Monday.

However, I do have some useful information on how you can do a sixth grade science fair project in the most impotent and exasperating way possible, in case you are interested. (How is your Saturday going?)

  1. Lose the grading rubric.
  2. Ask your mother when the completed project is due.
  3. Plaintively ask your mother what your hypothesis should be.
  4. Sharpen fourteen pencils over the course of forty-five minutes.
  5. Enter an incorrect date in your data notebook.  
  6. Start crying.
  7. Smack a wall.
  8. Go on a long walk.
  9. Give up.
  10. Repeat daily until assignment is due.

Also, here is something my six year old drew. I think it is a Playboy centerfold:

I think I'm doing a pretty good job parenting. What do you think?

I'd like to tell you getting a 7th grade science fair project done with ADHD is better but alas - not! I will say our science teacher has helped a bit by breaking it up into manageable chunks, but have we had to cancel all after-school activities this week so the final tri-fold project can get done? Yes we have. With each new school year I say I'll do better at helping her manage big projects. Most days I don't feel like I'm making much traction in the "better" department.

natanyap Hope your survived yours OK! We just wrapped up 5th and 8th grade and are done for the year. Dark days. But it's all OK because my sons are going to start biotech companies and support us when we're old. That's the plan, anyway...;)
