La Feria de Ciencias

Last week was the Science Fair for Riley and Jane. They were both assigned to groups of 3 or 4 to complete a science project. Neither of their groups were very ambitious, which was O.K. by me. I actually lucked out quite a bit. A mother from each of the groups took over the project and I had to do almost nothing.

Jane's group grew stalactites and stalagmites with baking soda.

Riley's did the old Mentos and Coke experiment, determining which soda caused the biggest explosions.

Riley's exhibit became very popular when it came time for the explosions.

I wish I had taken pictures of the Junior High and High School projects, they were pretty cool. The Jr. H. built bridges out of toothpicks glued end-to-end with Elmer's glue. The H.S. did chain reactions with dominoes and other objects. Riley and Jane liked those the best.

We'd love to see a soda fountain display when you guys get home. Think Riley could swing it? :)
