How do I apply this to writing? well simple: experience makes a writer just as much as anything else. Perhaps one day this will be found in a book or short story or even a poem!
I can see it now...The hero attempting to make Sodium acetate trihydrate in the middle of a battle, or perhaps s/he is curious what can happen with baking soda and vinegar? Or maybe s/he wants to get even with some?
(Enter evil laugh here.) ahem...sorry my imagination runs away with me sometimes.

My husband uses baking soda and vinegar to clear the sink drain. My kids get a kick out of it every time. :)
UGH! Science projects. You just brought back some decidely depressing memories. :)
I love science projects! My daughter hasn't gotten to do any yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

I remeber my science project days...mine were all pretty lame though. No bubbly explosions. I did one that involved how long gum sticks to various objects...tested it on the carpet too, though that wasn't stricly part of the project.

Hee hee. Science projects rock. My kids love to build the sandbox up to look like a volcano and add the baking soda and vinegar. The nice thing is I can use the hose to clean it up. =)
That's a scene I'd like to read!
Science projects with 2 kids would be scary!
And Millicent Min, Girl Genius (by Lisa Yee) uses a similar piece of information. Lots of fun!
Or maybe you could even make a child chemist as a protagonist in a short story where the fate of the world lies in her science fair project of genius, then at the last minute, the hero Mom comes in and saves the day!
Maybe that's too based in real life...but regardless, sounds like it was fun! :)
LOL, and it is a great drain cleaner. I wondered what you project was. I loved science in school. :)

Yay for science projects! I love how you brought this post around to writing.
My science projects always turned into nightmares. I have that kind of luck with physics and objects -- like Wiley E. Coyote!
You're right, Summer. If the reader can relate to the horror in the story by some common trait of humanity interwowen in it, you will get them every time. Roland
Haha. You are SO much a writer, always thinking of new story ideas!
No, no! I like the last one. Go for it.
Yes, scary! Sometimes I write those experiences in my books! If we live the events, we write the events with more conviction.

baking soda + Vinegar also makes a great non toxic cleaning agent ;)
Science projects are always fun.
Aww I bet you had fun none the less
That's awesome! I really want to do this myself!
Too cute. I love doing these types of things with my kids. I dream of a time when I can spend more time on these things. You may not use it in a book, but it will forever be a part of your children's backstory. The good news is, they won't skim past it.
