Saturday – Science and comedy

Today DIane and I drove up to Spruce peak to do a sceince show as part of the Stowe Homgrown festival. Our freinds Julliane and Belinda had helped organize it. >> It wa a beutiful hot day.. We were the first thing in the festival .. so there weren’t many people around. but we were able to rustle up about 15 kids and their adults.. It was a small but apriative crowd. It was really fun workign with Beaker.. she has such great energy !

We did optical illusions were we used spinnign black and white patterned disks to appear colorful, and to make your head expand or squish.. really coo demos and easy to make.

We did elephant toothpaste.. which went really well
its30% hydrogen peroxide, dish soap and food coloring.. mixed at the end with a potassium iodide solution

Then we made liquid niotrogen ice cream.. deliicious and messy !

super fun.. they even fed us ~
we packed up and headed home

Later that evening we went to Chris and Kims to see a comedy show on their ackyard stage. DIane and I served pop corn and snow cones..

The comics were great.. the crowd was very appreciative even through a little rain.
