Evan's Hypothesis: A salt solution under a heat lamp will create a lot of salt crystals, a salt solution in my cold garage will create none, and a salt solution in my room will create just a little bit. This is because there will be more evaporation when there is more heat, and when more water evaporates more salt is crystallized.
Results: I measured .85 oz salt crystal formation in the glass under the heat lamp, .50 oz in my bedroom, and .50 oz in my cold garage. 5.05 oz of water evaporated in the heat lamp cup, 2.55 oz in the garage cup, and 2.60 oz in the bedroom cup.
Conclusions: In my hypothesis I thought there would be more of a difference between the heat in my room and the garage, but there was almost the same heat in my room and the garage. They had the same amount of crystallized salt, but the evaporation was different. The heat lamp cup had a lot of salt and a lot of evaporation.
When our good friend S first showed us this car, the only things I could think of were our boys' Hotwheels cars. It was sooo red and cute. I kept thinking it should be put it onto a Hotwheels track. S's teenage daughter has her eye on the car and would like to drive it.
S took everyone out for a drive, one at a time of course. Too bad I hate twisty high roads, because this is the perfect California backroads roadster. Walter went on an extended trip and returned exhilarated and wind swept.
There were two games at LQ, followed by sandwiches and cake.
Evan wanted a chocolate mint cake and that's what he got. There was also a lemon cake, in case there were children who didn't want chocolate or mint. But the chocolate mint cake was a huge hit and none was left. I also found a great no-fat frosting which, bizarrely, I can't find again on the web. (It does use Splenda and some sugar. If you want the recipe, just ask.)
Now he's nine.
