Day 157

Yesterday Sam did a very cool experiment for science. He was supposed to make oxygen from peroxide and yeast, and catch it in a balloon. Then he had to light a candle and put it under a jar; of course it would go out soon. So he had to take the balloon with the oxygen in it and put the mouth of it under the edge of the jar to see if it would sustain the candle. It totally worked! The joke around here is that experiments don't work, but it really did. And then we held the bottle (that had the peroxide and yeast in it) up to the candle for an oxygen boost, and it got so bright. Look how cool that is.

We watched a photography lesson yesterday. It was about finding color and how to use light with color and how light sometimes looks like it's coming from the color. We haven't done our assignment yet, but Rachel found a new setting on the camera the teacher talked about it. It's "white balance" or something like that. It makes the light a little more blue so it looks white and there are some other differences it can make. I hope we can learn some ways to take amazing pictures.

Of course it helps if you're taking pictures of amazing things like this:

That's all I got. It's late and I honestly can't remember what else we did that's interesting enough to tell you about. Haha!

See you next time!
