Eventually I just gave up trying to widdle it down and tried to melt the glue stick directly. Fyi jic you ever find yourself in a similar arts and crafts related emergency, they will catch on fire if you over do it.

    Ah, yes, the “Oh, I have a thing due tomorrow, can you help?” at dinner time. Been there.

    Let’s see, for my son, I built a Venus Diorama in one weekend. I got an A on that.

    Also, I built, tested, and compared two simple solar oven designs for my step-son’s seventh-grade science project. Then, I wrote the paper in his voice, because he had to spend the weekend with his dad. I got an A on that one, too.

    I fully enjoyed doing both, I was surprised at how well the solar ovens worked.

      That’s awesome! How did y’all decide on building solar ovens?

      This was my first school project and there’s no real grade, but I have to admit I got way more into it than I was expecting. Kinda looking forward to doing more stuff like that.
