Hi There!

I must say that we are sorry for the update delay. We got sidetracked. But we thank you for your support during this experiment. Needless to say our first cave failed. But our second showed more promising results. We ended up with two stalagmites and about six or seven stalactites.
We even had 2 columns! In the end of the experiment we took photos of the cave. The view is somewhat blurry, but you can pretty much make out what is what.
The right side of the cave dissolved quickly. That made the sand and clay above it collapse. Using the photos taken by the webcam Chris and I made a sort of movie. This was and impeg movie that we had a little fun with. We used the emboss feature to show the dissolving action of the sugar cubes.
We also used an x-ray feature to show the formation of the stalagmites and stalactites in the cave. So the movie wouldn't take up valuable time, we made each slide two seconds long. We'll  try to put that on here if it is possible. Also, have new pictures. We expect to have those posted A.S.A.P.
Thank you and have a nice day!

Any questions? Please email  me or Dr. Hudyma or Mr. Smith .
