Post a CommentAs a scientist, I am interested in potato crispiness! (Sheepish Grin)
I'm interested in the baking powder idea!
I could have used these ideas when I was in the 6th grade. The only thing I could come up with (because I was sooooo bad in science), was using cotton to make cloud formations ;)
You'd make a good science teacher, Loki. Interesting ideas, enthusiasm, etc. I tended to have dry old teachers who seemed bored by what they were saying themselves!
What a strange collection of ideas. It is called thinking out of the box. Wonderful tips are these, Loki.
Love these ideas!
I wish I had these suggestions about 40 years ago.
These are excellent ideas for teachers,and kids, thanks Loki.
Interesting info.
Thanks for the info!
