Some science fun!

From last week to this week (in school) - WOW, what a change in behaviour!

I'm liking this!

I wonder 'what is the magic antidote'?
Was it one thing we said?
Was it a reaction?
Was it Jacques stepping in?
or
Was it a combination of things we've done?

Either way, I'm lovin' this.

I mean, don't get me wrong - he's STILL a boy and is 9 years old but it's a complete turn around!


Then again, it helps that we have 2 science experiments and 1 science craft!

And my boy sure loves his science.

Today, we were experimenting learning about the 3 matters of water:

SOLID (ice)
LIQUID (water)
GAS (water vapour)

And here, we are learning about what happens with the molecules for each matter.




Here we are learning about how the SOLID form of water (ice) is lighter than the LIQUID form of water (water)!



After we got all the experiment cleaned up, the stove was still hot and Noah noticed that the ice melted on the burner fast (causing lots of vapour).

Here he is explaining how this happens:
