Clever Sprouts

Teacher: "How do sprouts know which way to grow?" 
(the real answer has to do with gravity pulling down the roots)


kid #1: Something in the seed tells them.
kid # 2: They follow the path of the water after being watered.
kid # 3: Because of the sun.
kid # 4: My mom made sprouts for dinner once.

Bacon powder

So we did a science experiment at school today! We asked the kids to guess what would happen when we mix vinegar and baking soda together with a dash of soap?

Most popular answer in the class:  it will make bacon.

Hah! What else would "bacon powder" make? Hah. Oh these kids! Click here for the experiment!
