“So he told us he plans to use glitter glue and sparkles on the social studies project”

Aaaargh! Was this a science contest or a decoration contest? Zoo, your gut feelings and thoughts are spot on and need to be brought up with the[ apparently] clueless as well as blind administrators who ran this faux science contest, because it certainly wasn’t judged in an objective or fair manner! scualum has a really good point. you might want to suggest that glitter and any other extraneous decorative “gilding” be eliminated as acceptable materials for future contests.
