Popsicle Meltdown
Braeden did his science project on popscicles. He was testing to see which color melted the fastest. His hypothesis was that the darker colored popscicles would melt quicker because dark colors attract heat. He found that they all melt at the same rate. It was an easy project but lots of fun for him to do. I forgot to get a picture of his completed board but here are some of the pictures that Cary took while they were running their tests.

Look at all that hair!
Gotta love science projects!
That is a great project! How did he determine their rate of melt-ed-ness???
HEy Leisha, He weighed the popscicles first and then let them melt for an hour and then weighed the amount of juice that was in the cup. They all melted pretty much the same.....he said his project was "inconclusive".
Ah-ha! Clever boy! My 6th grade science project was testing whether colors affected mood. I used my hamsters, took copious amts. of notes and then my friend mentioned "aren't they colorblind?"
sigh.
