Halloween finale

Here are the final pictures from Halloween.  It was a beautiful night for trick-or-treating.  We had a good time and are still eating the candy from the kids haul. 

This is the picture of just Ben, with his attachment.  He was feeling much better but Mom didn't let him go far.
 

A quick look at pumpkins.  I am pretty sure we have another picture somewhere that shows them all but here is a fun picture. 

And now, happy Thanksgiving!   

Science Fair Part 1

Today we skip the rest of the Halloween pictures for a science fair update.  We have one down and one to finish (provided he can find the data we already collected).  This experiment, which Hannah titled Disappearing Candy, came from the book "Science Experiments you can Eat" by Vicki Cobb (and it is an older version I just discovered).
Here is what you need:

Take three hard candys (we used dum dum suckers): one stays whole, one gets broken in pieces, and one gets smashed.
 

Put 1/4 cup water in three glasses and add the sucker or remnants of sucker to the glasses.

Every ten minutes check and see how dissolved the candy is getting.  45 minutes total, from start to finish!  We did have a short discussion about surface area and how much of the sucker was touching the water.  After the results are recorded, drink your yummy juice.
Sorry no picture of the board, it went to school this morning and was finished just after bedtime last night.
