NC Science Olympiad: Preserving Leaves and Flowers

Flower presses can be bought, made cheaply, or made free. They are useful to preserve flowers and leaves for further study. Pressing the flowers dries them without ruining the color or shape, and leaves you with a flat specimen that can be mounted inside a sheet protector or laminated to make your own study guide. Simply stack the flowers and leaves between paper towels, apply pressure, and a few days later you'll have your own collection.

@psalmsofplanets0722 Its great you love physics but your grammer sucks. That is the longest run-on sentence ive ever heard. Look into some grammer skills.

Yo dawg I herd you like physics so I made a siphon that is initiated by a gas that is being heated and creates a high amount of pressure causing the volume of the gas to increase and push the liquid above its level and is pulled down by the acceleration due to gravity that pulls the fluid to a point lower than the initial point where it has lost gravitational potential energy because its mass is constant, as well as gravity, but the height is lower. But of course you already know all this.
