Kaylee's Science project

Back in May Kaylee had to do a science experiment for school. Her and her dad came up with the "Glowing Pickle".  Of course it had to be something cool and  not safe, but I don't complain because I didn't have to do it. :) The science projects are for dad!  What they did was split the electrical cord in half and wrap each end around nails and stick them in opposite sides of a pickle then plug it in. The pickle would then glow and you could see the electricity traveling through it. The pickle would then start smoking and making an awful burnt pickle smell and they thought it was awesome! She just had to be careful the two nails didn't touch, and to get it all set up and back away to plug it in. Well when she was showing the class the teacher didn't read the detailed instructions and plugged the cord in with out Kaylee knowing and she went to stick them in the pickle and the nails got a little close and sparked, scaring her and the class and she dropped them. It would have been funny to see. So she had to explain to the teacher to not plug it in yet to avoid electrocution! She loved it and I'm sure her teacher and class enjoyed the burnt pickle smell all day! Thanks for being such and awesome dad hunny, and getting the 2nd grade class electrocuted!! :-)
