Both girls competed in the science fair at school again this year. Kaylee was required to participate, but Kianna was not. Kaylee's experiment was trying to find out "What Conditions Make a Cut Flower Last the Longest". She had six flowers to compare. She put the first two flowers in bleach water (1T vs 3 T), the next two flowers were in sugar water (1 T vs 3 T), and the final two flowers were just in water. She cut the stem of one and left the other one uncut. She monitored the flowers over two weeks. She found that the flower with the cut stem lasted the longest followed by the uncut flower and then the 1 T of bleach. She did such a great job working independently on her display board this year. Last year, she received lots of help, but this year she took it up to her room, listened to Adventures in Odyseey and went to work. I typed up her work and she did the rest. It was great!
Kianna's experiment was trying to see "What Color of Crayon Melts the Quickest?" We thought the darkest colors would melt the fastest, but after several trials discovered that the position in our oven seemed to matter more than the color of the crayon. She too worked more independently this year. It helped to have a year under their belts. Both girls received ribbons. Way to go girls!
