Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

Moe’s Scientific Conclusions


008
Experiment 1
Hypothesis: "The most dense liquid sinks to the bottom and so does the most dense object."
Results: "I did the order wrong, putting the cork, then the raspberries, then the rocks and then the ice cube last which I think made it float because it wasn't supposed to float but that's what happened."
Conclusion: "I now understand the great power of atoms."
001
Experiment 2
Hypothesis: "When the water cabbage mix goes into the vinegar bottle, the balloon with the baking soda inside will blow up after is is dumped into the vinegar mixture."
008
012
013
014
Results: "Exactly what I predicted, happened."
 
015
019
Conclusion: "When you put certain chemicals together, amazing things can happen."

Buttercup’s Brownies


016
Buttercup made her very first batch of brownies without any help this week!

She said the best part of the experience was having the whole bowl to lick clean all by herself.
The best part for us was having very yummy brownies for dessert!
