Test Tube Tuesday

My big kid has learned how to light matches. Oh me oh my! Of course, he has also been told to NEVER do so without the supervision of mom or dad, so we hope he will heed that warning. Today's science assignment called for a little experiment, so he lit three tea lights...
...left one uncovered, covered one with a small jar the other with a larger jar...Which one will burn out first (all three boys knew the answer, but they still loved a chance to play with FIRE)?
The careful observer...He also took time today to explain to me how a steam engine works. His cousin Beau will be so proud! I anticipate seeing what this child will choose as a profession one day. He has a brain that does not quit and he explains concepts in a way that even MOMMY can grasp. I am so proud of him and the brains he got from his daddy's genes!
