No, but your 12 yr old is close. You need one of these:

My 12 yr old is a girl so those dont really interest her but thanks
anyway.
This is my little daughter who after doing lots of canoeing with me
noticed that the clear spring waters were all clogged with hydrilla
weed whereas the dark tannin stained waters were not. She wondered if
the Tannin was killing the hydrilla. She did a science fair project
on this and I thought it would show nothing but instead the results
were dramatic. Tannin REALLY DOES kill hydrilla. So, we called the
State of FL Dept of Env. Prot. and told someone about her results and
were told "We were thinking of trying to get some funding to study
effects of Tannin on Hydrilla but it never came through".

Very cool.
