Science expos are really fun and a great opportunity to do some fun research and projects! There are tons of experiments that you can try out, but here are few ideas to get you started from the easiest to the most complex:
  • Grow your own bacteria: Show how bacteria naturally forms and grows on its own. Fill a Petri dish with an agar gel, and press your fingertip onto the surface when it hardens. After a few days in a warm, dark place, more bacteria will grow inside the dish.
  • Make hot ice: When you boil vinegar and baking soda, it creates sodium acetate that freezes quickly and releases hot air. Boil the liquid, cool it on ice, and then touch the liquid with a finger to make it freeze instantly.
  • Test ways to purify water: There are multiple ways to purify water at home, but which way is the most effective? Try purifying water by boiling it, adding bleach, and using filters like activated charcoal to see which removes the most contaminants and makes it safest to drink.
  • Build a solar oven: Show off how you can use solar energy to cook food and build a homemade oven. Line a box with aluminum foil and black paper, and place it out in the sun. Place a pot of food inside the box and let the sunlight heat the box.
  • Make a model suspension bridge: Use popsicle sticks and glue to create a minitature version of a suspension bridge to see what design supports the most weight. Show how different bridge designs work better than others to show your trial and error.

Need help writing my own wedding vows!
My wedding is coming up soon and I want my vows to be perfect but I don't know where to start. Every time I try writing something it comes out so cheesy and awkward. There is so much I love about my partner and it's hard to put it all into words. Does anyone have any advice on how to write your vows? I'd love to hear the story of how you wrote yours!

Explain what a sorority is. What kind of stuff do you do?
My friends and I have been preparing for college a lot recently, and there's been a lot of talk about them joining one of the sororities on campus. They keep asking if I'm planning on joining too, but I honestly don't know what a sorority even does or why it's good. Is it really something that I should get involved in? What are the pros and cons I should know about? Brownie points if you have any firsthand experiences that you want to share while you were in a sorority.
