Kaddi conceived of the project. She bought all the materials. She typed out all the information. She formatted the storyboard and cut out the materials
I supervised the experiments and drove to my office in the middle of a thunderstorm so I could print out all the information for Jake's posterboard.
Jake's contribution consisted of watching the experiments and gluing all the information to a posterboard.
In the end, Kaddi and I learned that the match causes the air to expand and rush out of the bottle. When you seal off the bottle by placing an egg on the spout it creates a vacuum, because the pressure inside the bottle is less than the pressure outside. The force of the outside air rushing into the bottle (in order to equalize the pressure)is what forces the egg downward.
Jake learned that he doesn't need to worry about large projects because, in the end, his parents will do it for him.

Didn't you have hometeachers/missionaries in AB the used this very same experiment but likened it all to the gospel somehow? How many eggs did you go through?

All the cool projects involve fire in some way or another. Gunner's a few years back involved smoking - a filtered vs. non-filtered experiment. We smoked 2 packs in the back yard one afternoon. It was a bonding experience never to be forgotten...
I can't believe Brother Cluff (aka:Luvernutz) didn't chastise your for doing Jake's homework on a SUNDAY. Straight to hell...the lot of you.
This reminds me of the 'fat test' prank done with a mason jar, a slice of bread, a few matches and some (naïve) volunteer's bare navel. Ever seen a 3" hickey on a man's navel? A person just can't explain that one away. The thing will last for two weeks. Priceless...
Wait, didn't we do this to YOU Shane?
