Simpler times

Today I judged an elementary school science fair and it reminded me of simpler times, when science seemed untouchably large, complicated, and god-like. Actually, it still seems that way most of the time, but now it's "supposedly" within reach. That's what they want us to think.

DID YOU KNOW?
You'll have less unpopped kernels if you freeze your popcorn before popping it.
2 days in white vinegar dissolves the eggshell off an egg and cooks it translucently.
Heavier paper makes farther-flying paper airplanes.
Regular ziplock bags prevent freezer burn better than freezer bags.

I miss working with kids soooooooo much.
