She Blinded Us With Science

Camdyn participated in her school's science fair this year. Her project focused on a question whose answer has eluded mankind for some time: Which diaper holds the most liquid?

To do this, mommy secured diapers of various brands from her friends with toddlers, and with mommy and daddy assisting, Camdyn systematically poured water onto three different brands of diapers and then measured the amount of water that wasn't absorbed by each to determine the best performing diaper. Each one was subjected to 1000ml of water (the competition required metric measurement, but if you're American, this translates to around 4 cups) added over time.

Here she is preparing a diaper for testing:

And here is a pour:

Once the experiment was over, then the display had to be created. She and mommy worked into the early evening on Sunday to suitably capture the project for the fair.

Finally, mommy took Camdyn to school the next day to drop off the project.

We found out today that, in addition to the ribbon Camdyn receives for participating, her project was awarded a ribbon by the judges!

And just in case you're wondering: Huggies was declared the winner, although only a narrow margin separated all three diapers.
