The Wonders of Vinegar!

Vinegar can be used for a lot of things. Vinegar is very useful actually and is an eco-friendly cleaner. Try these experiments and you will be amazed:
  • Drains - Use 250 ml of vinegar once a week. Let it stand for 30 minutes and then flush it with cold water. This will deodorize your drain.
  • Microwave ovens - Boil 60 ml of vinegar and 250 ml of water in a microwavable container. Let cool and then wipe the oven clean.
Vinegar was discovered over 10,000 year ago. Vinegar is a good cleaning fluid but it is also tasty on french fries!

Candy Math

Hello - this is Nicholas again. I've got a new way for math. It is called "Candy Math".

Candy Math is when you take your favourite candy and you do math.

How it works:

Step 1: Take your favourite candy.

Step 2: Draw number sheets. Take 10 sheets of paper and draw the number 1, as big as you can on the first sheet. Then draw the number 2 on the next sheet and so on.

Step 3: Use the candies for math by putting the right number of candies on each sheet. You can also add two sheets together and count the total number of candies that you have so that you can practice adding.
