Sam the Scientist

Sam got to bring the Science bag home from school this week.  It was fun to look through the bag of goodies and find an experiment in the book that he could do for his class.  He got to do the experiment for his class on Friday.  Since I was already there for music time I got to stay and help/watch him do it.  It was fun to see him perform the experiment for his friend and watch them say "oooohh" and aaaahh".  He felt really cool and I loved that.

He chose the experiment about how two toothpicks floating parallel on the surface of the water would retract quickly from each other if you dipped another toothpick that had soap on it in between them without even touching them.  It was fun as all the kids said, "wow, it's magic."
