I remember doing two science fair projects in middle school. For the first one, I tested whether the viscosity of a liquid would affect its boiling point. Turns out, the thicker the liquid, the higher its boiling point. Shocking, right?

The second year, I tested whether the temperature of various balls would affect how high they bounced. I learned that balls bounce much higher when they've been heated up. I also learned that a soccer ball will explode if you leave it in your oven too long.

Tell me your science fair stories. What'd you do for yours? Did your parents just do it all for you?
