This year's most popular School Science Project: Testing Children's Toys for Lead!
At least, that is what it SHOULD be.

Since Nanchy Nohrd does not want to test our children's toys, let's enlist the children to test them instead.

I'm volunteering again as a judge for my daughter's school's science fair.

I am going to suggest this idea to the teachers.

We should all call our children's' science school teachers, and suggest that students be encouraged to test toys for lead and other toxins, either as science fair projects, or as a classroom lab exercise.

2007 was The Year of Coke and Mentos.

Let's make 2007 The Year of Testing for Lead.

2. I think it is a great idea..using shame sorta like bake sales for armour for the troops
it certainly brought attention to the plight of the soldiers AND the lack of caring by this administration!
