My DD Hannah ( newly 13 and in 7th grade) and her friend won third place in the regional science fair yesterday and qualified to go to State!!!! Their project was comparing the effectiveness of commercial chemical cleaners vs. Kim and Aggie's (from BBC's How Clean is Your House?) natural cleaner ( a mix of warm water, vinegar, baking soda and tea tree oil). Their results? Both worked equally well!
I'm so proud I could burst!

Just yankin your chain. At least you took some.
On a molecular level, I'm very busy.
That's great!
So, did they test it out by cleaning your house? Because they can do a follow-up study at mine if they need to!

<---------wishes she thought of that.

How totally cool for your daughter! As a science teacher, I can tell you it will be an awesome experience for her.
Hey, that's super-cool! And those cleaning products sound awesome.
If life gives you lemons, go find an annoying person with paper cuts.
You can yank my chain any ol time! Oh, and just because I'm an overachiever, I addd a LO I whipped up with the photosICanHasCherryOnTop wrote:imwickedwitch wrote:Yeah, I figgured someone would ask that. Got to get those uploaded.ICanHasCherryOnTop wrote:hey...where's the pics?

Pahaha! Actually, they divided a cutting board in half and rubbed raw chicken on it (the first time) That one failed because the gelatin medium was too hard. The second try they were at school and they used raw egg. That one disintegrated in the bacteria culture machine that they have at school. The third time all they had was oranges and their teacher thought it would never work but lo and behold the bacteria grew! I fear oranges now.
Sooooo, if you would like them to come rub nasty raw food on your cutting boards, I'm sure they will revise the experiment based on the judges comments for the State competition.
