Stench cannot staunch science

“It was when we did a battery. We tied electric strings to a battery,

and a lightbulb turned on.”

“I like [the acid and base indicators experiment] because we’re

using different chemicals. The colors are interesting, but it

stinks.”

“I like [the indicators experiment] too, because I like to smell

the things even though it stinks. It could make my face go blue.”

BLAVIN MOE, 10

“We’ve done four, but [the indicators experiment] is the best one.

We mix things and get to see the reactions, and we do it by

ourselves. I love the colors. They’re so pretty.”

“[The indicators experiment], because afterward we get to mix up

whatever chemicals we want to.”
