Our experiment bears fruit (well, vegetables)

I didn't think it would work, but our corn experiment is actually starting to grow corn, and the tiny corn is getting bigger each day. The plants are now taller than jr. scientist A and are still growing. Who would have thought our humble little popcorn kernels would grow into this!

Making colored paper

We're trying to see how the sun affects different colored paper, so we decided to make our own colored paper with printer paper and food coloring. We cut strips of white paper and filled some shallow pans with water and food coloring. We let the strips soak in the pans overnight and moved them to wax paper the next morning to dry (flipping occasionally). Once they dried, we had pastel-colored paper!
