Science Fair time...




Mr. Smarty Pants and Girly Girl had a big day. It was Science Fair day. The small Seventh-day Adventist school they attend hosts this each year. Mr. Smarty Pants' project was called "enigmatic eggs"...he put a raw egg in vinegar for 5 days...the shell disappeared! Then for 5 more days, that same egg sat in corn syrup...it shrunk, and was like a rubber ball! Kinda neat. Girly Girl made "homemade perfume". Using materials of her choice such as rose petals, lemon zest and pine needles, she put them in rubbing alcohol, waited a week, and then tested. The rubbing alcohol evaporates, leaving the smell of the plant! So cool. She did SOOO good too. Very proud. :)
