Experimentation









Experimentation was yesterday's theme. Neil has a very clearly written book (Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes, Steve Spangler) and we did three of the experiments in it, which was great fun. The first one was cleaning a penny- we dropped two dirty pennies one into canned tomatoes and one into coke. After hearing how acidic coke was for years and years, I was astonished to see that the tomato made the penny shiny in 10 minutes!
The above is the second experiment - much more photogenic than the first.

The beautiful results








The last experiment was totally dramatic and awesome - the egg drop. Which was accomplished perfectly by everyone else, but me!
