Tonight was Toby's school Science Fair and Pinewood Derby- big night! First we went to the Science Fair to walk around and check out all the great projects. We were really excited to see that Toby had been awarded 2nd Place for 5th grade! He did an interesting project about skateboard wheels. He tested the speed of 3 size wheels to see which would go furthest. He learned the biggest wheels would go furthest- good lesson in physics and he got some good math practice measuring and calculating means, etc. After the Science Fair we went to the Pinewood Derby. Toby & Jim had made their car in a hurry, so weren't expecting great results. Toby's car wasn't fast (came in 2nd to last in most runs) BUT it was COOL looking! He ended up with the prize for Most Unique car and because his car was so special looking, he was awarded 1 of only 10 golden tickets to compete at the S. Utah Pinewood Derby this Saturday. WOW- it pays to be creative! Toby's car was a futuristic/ high tech car, silver in color w/ computer chips and machine type parts fixed onto it. Toby was thrilled with his awards tonight because his hard work paid off. (Big hand goes to his Dad who was kept very busy the past couple days working side by side w/ Toby on these projects!)

COOL car Tobes!!! This year Conner made his car ALL by himself
(with Steve watching & wanting to help!) other then Steve cutting it into a wedge and he did pretty good. Congrats on your science project!
And I thought that Colton looked handsome in his uniform....so does Toby!!!! Colton has his first pinewood Derby in 2 weeks. He is so excited. I am going to show him the pictures of Toby's cars so he can get some ideas. Cool car Toby, and congrats on the science fair.
Great job Toby!! your car looks really cool!!
Glad you did such a good job.
