Epic Failure

This past week we tried to do an official science experiment.  Ava checked out a video about clouds from the library and on it was an experiment to make a cloud in a jar.  It looked like fun, so we decided to replicate it at home.  We gathered all the equipment and gave it a shot.  It didn't work.  We decided not to give up and try again.  Once we realized the second jar was not forming a cloud we decided to try one more time. 

This time Rich got out his giant 2 gallon drink dispenser that looks like a mason jar.  Unfortunately, we did not read the instructions or we would have known it was not meant for hot boiling water.  As soon as we put the hot water in, the jar cracked and water went everywhere.  Luckily, nobody was hurt.  The cool jar was just broken and our experiment was an epic failure.  Ava was not too disappointed and we decided we would give it a try another day.

Our young scientist excited and ready to start the experiment.

The jar on the left is our first failed attempt.  Ava is optimistically watching for a cloud to form in the second jar.

Ava starting to look disappointed as we realize the 2nd attempt is not working.

A big piece of glass and a whole bunch of water (hard to see but there).

Our broken jar.  Ava was really disappointed because she loved this thing.  I think she was more upset about the jar than the experiment not working.
