What is it with third grade and projects? It has been awhile (5 years to be exact) since I've had one and I guess I've forgotten how much stuff they get to do. Last week's project was the 3rd Grade Science Fair. Julia's project dealt with how the temperature of colored water affects the absorption of water in flowers. I have to admit it was actually quite interesting to watch.
This photo was taken almost immediately after placing the white carnation in warm water. You can see a hint of red coming through the flower's center. Not surpising, the carnation absorbed the warmer water faster and Julia's hypothesis was correct.
This week's project = rainforest animal/insect report. Julia was thrilled to find a rainforest insect with her name in it--the Julia Butterfly of South America.

With a name like Julia the Butterfly has to be beautiful.
