James' Science project....changing the color of fire. We used household chemicals in the fire to see what we could come up with....salt, borax, alum, ice melt, pool cholrine tablets. It was pretty interesting the colors that came out. I won't post all the different colors but here are two....if I remember right the pool tablet is the one on the right - blue fire!! and the red - ah heck, I can't remember - but he did get a ribbon!! One of the coolest was the ice melt, well sort of, it snapped and crackled and turned awesome white - yes white fire...but with all the popping and snapping, I got hit in the lip and a natural reaction was to lick my lip...so I ended up with a small blister on both!! Ouch, yes.
