You'll need two matches (or one match and a lighter), a wine glass or small glass, a bit of colored water, a heavy coin, and a shallow dish.

ReplyDeleteWe're getting snowed in today. DH (The Science Guy) is home with us and taking a bit of a break from Master's work. I think I'll suggest this experiment for the boys (who are currently making bread :-).
