Science Corner: H2O Christmas Tree

December 14, 2016 by Andy Walsh 1 Comment

We talk a lot about science here; how about a chance to do some science? If you have a real Christmas tree in your house, keep track of how much water you are putting into the stand. Then set out an equivalent volume of water in a bowl or cup or whatever. Making some allowance for initial replenishment of dehydration, all of the water you are putting into the tree stand is evaporating into the air. If it weren't, the tree would be getting bigger. The water in the bowl is evaporating also, but most likely you'll observe … [Read more...] about Science Corner: H2O Christmas Tree

Here is a hymn for the new year.   Ev'ry Morning Mercies New Greville Phillimore Ev'ry morning mercies new Fall as fresh as morning dew; Ev'ry morning let us pay Tribute with the early day; For Thy mercies, Lord, are sure; Thy compassion doth endure.
