This looks like such a fun science day. I love the bubbly color it turned with baking soda and baking powder! Very cool. I love the microscope picture too! I never thought of doing that.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487026746937164012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500569229837401813.post-22187576311253636912011-12-07T08:15:40.652-08:002011-12-07T08:15:40.652-08:00That's a great idea, Liese!

We loved it! (And, yes, I was trying to be tricky and refer to the old juice commercials, but my husband says they actually still use that slogan!)<br /><br />Susan and Sara-- I couldn't believe that worked! Obviously, it looked a lot better in real life, but still, neat, huh? We keep our microscope set up so we can look at anything we happen to have on hand. We also looked at lettuce from my salad today (was glad to see that it looked very clean!)<br /><br />Kirsty-- how interesting that you have only seen dried cranberries! I guess it's not that surprising, though--cranberries have a special place in American history. The bags of fresh cranberries appear in our supermarkets just before Thanksgiving. My husband makes an amazing apple-cranberry pie (it takes A LOT of sugar to make cranberries palatable to me!)<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, everyone!Sparkleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738282395161764356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500569229837401813.post-53924620982944615362011-12-06T20:24:13.812-08:002011-12-06T20:24:13.812-08:00What a great science day.

I've taken pics through the microscope lens before...it's a bit tricky, but neat!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17600694619101352923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4500569229837401813.post-75820163148241619672011-12-06T19:24:18.356-08:002011-12-06T19:24:18.356-08:00It looks like you guys had even more fun than we d...It looks like you guys had even more fun than we did!
