Science Fair Project On Thermal Conduction

I worked really hard on my science fair project on Thermal Conduction. Our homeschool group science fair was moved to another day because of a snow storm and then we were unable to attend because daddy's work schedule changed and he needed the car. So to show everyone our board, experiment and what we learned I made this video. I hope you like it and learn about Thermal Conduction!

My brother made a dinosaur instead of a butterfly.

I got the idea out of the Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. It was a really good book and there are other crafts and recipes in the book too.
