The Result



Ding, Ding, Ding! Thanks to the internet's ability to let you cheat and google your hypothesis, many of you "guessed" correctly. Extra points to those who simply thought it through and gave an educated guess with out the guidance of modern technology.

Needless to say we all thought this was pretty cool! And none of us came even close to guessing what happened in the microwave. Sam wanted to do it again and again, and if I'd remembered that I had Ivory soap in our food storage, we probably would have done it again and again. Instant cheap fun.

It was interesting to try and get Sam to describe what happened to the soap ... he didn't have the vocabulary (?) to describe it's dry, fluffy texture.

No matter, 'cause it was still really, really cool!

The Experiment

At the beginning of the month Sam got to bring home the Adventure Bag from Preschool. Inside was a fun book, a little friend to go everywhere Sam went, AND a small cube of Ivory soap. The soap came with instructions to place it on a paper plate and microwave it for 1 minute on high and see what happens. Any guesses before I post the results?
