Science Projects

Craig and Daniel both have science projects coming up. Today we did the fun part -- experiments! Craig was trying to answer the commonly asked question, "Will this fruit or vegetable sink, float, or dance in water and 7-up." (Don't you always ask that question about your fruit?) The main fruit he is going to focus on will be raisins. They dance in 7-up! They will sink in water but in 7-up they will float up to the top with the bubbles and when the bubbles pop in the air they will sink back down. So they continually dance up and down. :-0

Here are some more of his experiments...



Daniel was making a hovercraft with old CD's, pop-top bottle lids, and different sizes of balloons. He was pretty happy with the outcome but struggles blowing up the balloons. We will have to practice before he has to demonstrate.

We LOVE science project time at our house. Of course I am only doing one project at a time. By the time Spencer has to do a project Melissa will be long done with them. But good job!

Wow. So cool. I'm a nerd and like to do those kind of experiments for NO reason. I'll have to try the 7-up and raisins.

WOW!!! I am so afraid of coming up with any good ideas for science projects. I'll have to file this away for Cole, and Cutler.

I'm so jealous! I can't wait until our boys are old enough for science projects. They're so much fun!

Am I strange? I hated science projects! Cindy
