You’ll obviously need a microwave oven as well, and a large, microwaveable dish. You will need a ruler, too."<br/> <p><strong>Tags:</strong> #experiments #light #marshmallows #microwaves #physics #science</p> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:18:20 +0000 linkding-ssg:bookmark:12879 experiments light marshmallows microwaves physics science
