Science, innovation, and fun! You might not know what innovation day is, or you might call it science fair or STEAM fair. If you don’t know what any of those things are, innovation day is a day to create, research, or do an experiment. We created, researched, and did an experiment. For our innovation day project, we made hand warmers that are environmentally friendly and reusable. I did my project with my friend Joey. Visit her blog here. We used rice and crushed walnut shells for fillings. Our questions were…

1. Can we make a hand warmer that is environmentally friendly and reusable?

2. Which smell is preferred?

3. Which material holds heat the longest: rice or walnut shells?

We did a survey on which smell is preferred out of 15 people and we found out the 9 like the smell of rice better and  6 like the smell of walnut shells better. We found out that we can make an environmentally friendly hand warmer, that the smell of rice is preferred, and that rice holds heat longer than walnut shells.  Now, my hands are getting cold. Tata for now!
