Try It Tuesday: I don't know about the weather in your neck of the woods, but it's been overly hot here in the Northwest. After reading a book about the weather yesterday, my son and I enjoyed a fun experiment about what melts in the sun. I'll attach the link in the comments. We enjoyed it, and I hope you do too! If you try it out, please share which objects you chose and what the kids in your life thought of the activity. Thanks.
