Jordan spent six days there, using chemicals that were unavailable at his school's laboratory, to pulp, bleach and make paper from non-traditional raw materials such as corn stalks, cattails and cereal straws. The equipment available was unlike anything I knew existed. In seventh grade, Sand invented a solar distillation device to purify water outdoors during the cold North Dakota winters. Another Sand invention is a solar heated birdbath that keeps the birds' water thawed during icy winters. Both projects were selected to advance to the state science fair.
Sand intends to pursue a career in plant science, concentrating on the genetic engineering of seeds.
