How many gallons of water is there in a pound of condensation?

There are a couple of problems with your question. First, "condensation" is simply water that has been changed from a vapor to a liquid, so unless you have something else in mind, your question seems to be, "How many gallons of water are there in a pound of water?" The second problem is that because there are about 8.34 pounds to a gallon of water, there are no "gallons" in a pound of water, only fractions of gallons. So, a better way to phrase your question might be, "What fraction of a gallon would a pound of water constitute?" To get the answer to that, you would simply divide one gallon by the number of pounds in a gallon (8.34) to determine that a pound of water is .12 of a gallon. Hope that helps. If that isn't what you were after, ask another question.

What can you make with straws?

Making geodesic structures would be interesting. Build all of the 3 dimensional forms. One thing that can be done with straws is to make laminated water! Take a metal one pound coffee can and cut a hole for a water hose and install the right fitting. Put in several metal can area sized screens at the inlet end the put in as many straws as fit. Another screen to hold the straws in. The coffee cans plastic top cut out to its sealing edges holds it together. This makes streams of clear water that can even carry light. Works best with high pressure water and a tighter seal.
