Several weeks ago we were eating, drinking, and breathing science experiments to get two of them ready for 6th grade Science Fair. Tim got in on the projects, but missed out on the actual fair. Here you go, Tim!
Jeran's experiment was borrowed (and expanded) from Mythbusters. They folded phone books together overlapping one page at a time. The friction of the pages against each other makes it so the phone books can't be pulled apart, even with an army tank (on the show). Jeran tried different types of books, and ended up with similar results. If you're bored and want to turn a lot of pages, try it sometime.
Megan experimented with brownies (of course!). She tested cooking brownies at different temperatures and reported on her results. Of course the best ones were the ones cooked at regular temperature, although the low temperature "gooey" version wasn't bad either. I heard several people looking at her display say, "Mmmmm. I'm going home to make brownies." Maybe the experiment should have been how many people would see a picture of brownies and want to eat them!

Austin did that with every type of book we had in the house after seeing that episode...kept him pretty busy for a while, but it was pretty annoying when you try to pull them apart to clean up.
brownies sound like a good idea...in the name of science of course.
