I was thinking of you yesterday! I will keep you in mind.
So far, so good. Miss E has a yarn suspended between 2 jars full of baking-soda saturated water. We expect to see a crystal grow from the low point of the yarn over the next few weeks. Not quite the instant gratification we were looking for, but.. we shall see. I am pretty impatient.. I keep walking by looking for drips. I got really excited last night when I saw one.
I wussed out on Super N's project and bought a kit. But before beginning it we had to tackle the concept of density, so I set up a series of bowls and filled them with different amounts of Skittles and then we played with a food scale. Then we hunted through the house for objects about the same size, but having different densities/weights. (And then the kids ate the Skittles). Yay! Science tastes good!

Next weekend we crack open his kit.
