P for Projects

This is my beautiful daughter,
Sydney.
This is Sydney home from school
on a Monday to do her science project.

We had been waiting for a SUNNY day
all week and of course it came on a school
day.
(don't hate me because your jealous!)


With solar "absorption" as her goal,
she painted these bottles,
filled them with H2O and
set them in the sun to soak it up!


Can't forget the quick trip to Wal-mart
for a proper thermometer.
(candy thermometers don't go below 100...sigh)


Now time to document her findings
every 30 mins.

That is until it started to rain 1/2 way
through her experiment....sigh.


So we'll try again tomorrow,
but this time Sydney can test the
temps when she gets home.
I doubt her teacher would approve
of 2 days off to complete the project,
let alone 1!!
