Last weekend, Max (with generous helping from Dad and project idea from Mom) completed this year Science Project. Among other things, the experiment involved heating up a considerable amount of vegetable oil in a plastic bottle under a very hot halogen lamp, which made Dad somewhat nervous. The concerns were unfounded - thanks to cold January weather and a rather drafty house insulation, the oil temperature never made it above 85F degrees. Still, the experiment was a success - the budding scientist proved that the sand surface is indeed getting hotter faster than deep sand or water. Yes!...P.S. The project didn't win anything.
