My little sister is becoming a scientist, just like I always imagined! She took 3rd place in physical sciences at her school science fair for her study of fire-fighting fluids. She found that, of four aqueous substances studied, tapwater is the most effective at extinguishing woodfires. Her project was selected for the state competition, at which she received an honorable mention. Her whole family is so proud of her, especially her nephew!

Goodness Thomas, she sure takes after you! And that's a good picture.
Bleh. Sorry, but I have no intention of being a scientist whatsoever. I only did the fair since it's required for all 8th graders and I like playing with fire.
And I didn't want to be a doctor either...but that all changed. ;)
Good point, Ben. As an update, she will receive a special award/honor from a local fire department. Cool, huh?
Another update - her award included $100 cash money.
