Don’t you just love blog carnivals? What a wonderful way to get to know other blogs and learn more about science. This week the Academy of Science and Technology 1 blog carnival gets underway at Kim’s Play Place. Be sure to visit, the photos from the telescope are really cool. And stop by and find out about the Great Sunflower Project, too.
And if you are interested in children’s books, take a peek at my newest blog Wrapped in Foil.
Continuing with the floating/boats theme we’ve had in previous posts, you just have to see this video:
What do you think? Are you ready to grow a giant pumpkin and give it a try?
Have a fun Friday!

For a quick update on the floating paper boats, the yellow legal pad boats lasted for five days before they got soggy and sunk. The gum wrapper boat was still going strong. I tried to find out if there was anything special about yellow legal pad paper, but other than the yellow dye that is added, I wasn’t able to come up with much. Do you have any ideas?
