Q: |
Does rock music kill plants? |
| Melanie |
A: |
Melanie, there is no evidence that music effects plant growth (Plants cannot hear and do not have brains). Some investigations claim this, but have no solid proof, although vibrations can be felt by plants. You may want to research this for a science fair project and can find more information here: Plants and Sound |

Kayla |
Q: |
Is it true that if you stare at the sun too long you will go blind? |
| |
A: |
Kayla, I had to do a little research on this one. While I found no direct evidence that it can completely blind you, it definitely can do some damage. Some scientists do think that it can blind you and you should always protect yourself with sunscreen and sunglasses. Check out these links for more information.
