TEXT PRIZE for LahBlueBonnet!
" Most intelligent children and thoughtful answers ".
Thank you for your thoughtful answers. I'm sorry that my text prize is a little lame--not really worthy of your effort, but it really is the best I can do right now. I do not know how to do cute little buttons, and I'm afraid I won't even pretend right now like I have plans to spend time figuring them out. I have tried them a few times, and it just doesn't work, and I get more leery of trying each time.
Anyway, the coffee, if I recall, was about room temperature or lukewarm at the most. The juice, I believe, came from the fridge, and the water from the tap. I didn't even think about trying to control for temperatures. What a great idea! The oil did not evaporate, by the way, but the soy sauce crystallized over the top, while the juice left below seemed to get murkier, if soy sauce could get any murkier. I've always thought soy sauce would be healthful, but after viewing it post-experiment, I'm not so sure I'd like to force much of it on my kidneys, poor things have to work so hard as it is.
Here are the photos

Water--mineral deposits left on the bottom (now that could have been a teaching point had I left my control bowl open)

Diet Dr. Pepper. Hmmmm--Makes me think twice about drinking it--it's kind of a sticky, tacky substance at the bottom...

Apple Juice--evaporated nicely. Clouded up at first, and grew a little mold, but the stuff you see there has a texture similar to maple syrup--thicker than apple juice concentrate

Pass the cheese please. The milk was the second to complete evaporation, and the most deliciously yucky to watch. It smelled sweet, like cheese, and I was (almost) tempted to taste it, but my overactive imagination overcame my curiosity. It's a sad day for the existentialists.

Looks just the same. Not even visible lint to make it interesting.

Soy sauce: I made this picture a little bigger, as you can see the crystal plates better. Before I tipped the bowl to the side, the crystal crust was reasonably solid, but tipping it forced the liquid up and broke it.
Tonight I interrupted our son's treat of watching Bob the Builder DVD for suppertime. I told him I would pause it, and he could watch from that point whenever we got to watch it again.
It's been visible on the computer screen, and I just logged onto the internet, covering the still shot of Bob. He said, "OH NO, MOMMY! Could you please put it (the screen) back the way it was? You
un-putered it!"
CJ: "Mom, did you see the light scrunches?"
(...What do light scrunches look like?)
CJ: "Like stars!"
I guess light scrunches are what you see when you look at a light with your eyes scrunched up.
Natalie has become aware of her nipples and was chattering about them tonight so I said, "Nipples".
"Niboz" she mimicked, then added for short, "NIBZ!" (: |
