Here's a Little Experiment/Hot Topic

Today I will give a piece of candy to anyone willing to give up 5 minutes of recess time in order to respond to today's Hot Topic.  You may use my laptop if you will give up 10 minutes of recess time in order to respond to today's Hot Topic. 

When you are done, please let me know.  We will not use our real names.  We will choose a pen name just like Houdini did.  Do you remember what Houdini's real name was?  Here's a hint: His initials were E.W.  Look at my picture on the right side of this page.  Beside my name you will find my pen name. My pen name is HolyGirl.
