Budding Scientist

Do you recall the Play-Doh incident? Well, my son's school had a science fair and students had the opportunity to participate. His experiment was titled, "Dry Play-Doh Dry". How cute!

He wanted to find the fastest way for Play-Doh to dry. We chose five methods:

1. in a container (control)
2. on the counter
3. outside (mind you, this is March in Nebraska)
4. in the freezer
5. in the toaster

His hypothesis was: I think the Play-Doh will dry the fastest in the toaster because it's hot.

The Result: The toaster dried the Play-Doh the fastest, but, be careful because it can burn if it's too hot.

"It's quite simple really...")

Apparently, discussing the various ways to dry Play-Doh requires lots of body language.
Who knew?
