Yesterday, Noah and I bought a science experiment kit. He saved his money for quite some time and wanted to buy science stuff. We 'played' with it for much of the day today while Mom, Daniel and Michael are on retreat in Abilene. With 450 plus experiments to consider, we dove into the flotsam and jetsam of parts--beakers, test tubes, wires, batteries, chemicals (baking soda and the like). We learned today about Inertia both in resting and moving objects, and the force necessary to stop or make move.
Then, Noah went to play with his friend Jake. When they came back, I heard the sincere question, "Can we blow something up, dad?" Hmmm... I suppose boys will be boys, preferring destruction to most forms of entertainment. Well, we didn't blow anything up. But we did do the baking soda/vinegar trick, and they thought that was way cool. After that they still wanted to blow something up.
