200th POST!!

It only seemed  fitting that my 200th post be about a science experiment!  After all, a few years ago when I started this blog in 2008, it was an experiment.  I was testing out the idea of keeping up a blog~ since we get around a lot!!!  And, well, here were are in 2011 and I've been able to keep it up:)

The pictures today are of the girls doing a surface tension experient:)  First, we tested it in a cup of colored water.



 Fill the cups and drop pennies in 1 by 1 until you see the bulge at the surface--before the water runs over the cup!!!!



                 Then, do the same thing, only use a cup of soapy, green water :)



Some everyday household items make for the easiest and fun for the kids home projects~~~


Then, a penny, water, and medicine dropper.  This penny held 24 drops of plain water, but only 8 of soapy water!!  (The soap changes the water molecules and they are weaker)

Cool experiment~
....  I suddenly realized that I am not taking enough pics or writing enough memories!  So, that means, more posts:)   Stay tuned.....
