The Amazing Floating Carrot!!!
This carrot not only sinks, but with the help of ocean science (and a LOT of salt) I can make this ordinary carrot float! How cool is that! We are studying the ocean in order to justify our "field trip" to Hawaii. I got to see exactly how much denser salt water is.  Obviously dense enough to make a carrot float.

 
Rain!!!
We got to make our own water cycle by filling a jar with warm water then putting a bag full of ice above, which made the water evaporate (sorry about the photo) and then rain back down, just like the real water cycle!

Love, Kayla

Cool! I think you should do some experiments while you are in Hawaii...think you can find a freshwater pool and compare how high you float in the salty ocean vs the plain water? Or maybe, like the carrot, Owen will float if the water is salty enough, instead of sinking like usual!
