Day 3 - School Tours and Stuff

We gathered in the lounge in preparation for breakfast at 7:30, and our first good news of the day was that Yajur's project finally arrived from Air Canada, having taken a much later flight than everything else.  Better late than never?  So it turns out we didn't need to use "plan B" of the reprints, which took some of the pressure off for the morning.  Some time gathering in the lounge before we headed out for breakfast.
In the lounge Ready for another day!
After breakfast we had a picture-taking with all of the other Ontario based teams for "Team Ontario".  A smart looking team!  (But Quebec still has the best "chant".)
Team Ontario !!
After breakfast the Science Fair got down to business, with a morning of School Tours.  It was a casual and relaxed opportunity for students to talk about this projects and meet some of their other Canada-Wide Finalists.  When lunch was done, it was off to "Science Shuffle", a series of science-based events and talks.  The team split up into different groups and experienced different events throughout the afternoon.


A little bit of very light rain in the middle of the day, but by late afternoon the sun was out again and it warmed up nicely.  So far Charlottetown weather has been good to us!
Off to the Science Shuffle Testing the senses Alex deep in thought?
After dinner the Science Fair opened for its first "Public Viewing", a final opportunity for students to practice and talk about their projects before Judging Day tomorrow.

Then it was back to the lounge for some down-time, but very soon everyone had gone off to their rooms, to get plenty of rest for tomorrow, and our earliest start so far (7:00am for breakfast!)  The team is excited and anxious for what Judging Day will bring.
