It's so true that kids are little sponges, absorbing all of the knowledge around them. These days, A loves to investigate all kinds of things. Given that today was International Women's Day, these recent investigations seemed like an appropriate topic for the blog. (And a couple of throw backs to her early investigator days!)
On Sunday, she collected lots of flowers (ahem, weeds) from our lawn and waited to see how long it would take them to wither. We also looked at if they lasted longer in water or not. Maybe she will be a botanist.
We also went to the botanical gardens for further investigation (unfortunately the fun ended prematurely when our little scientist decided to run off after one warning).
Tonight we opened her Clifford kitchen science kit for the first time. She had fun playing with the test tubes and identifying all of the equipment.
Tonight was the always impressive vinegar + baking soda reaction. Maybe she will be a chemist.
She was so excited about the reaction, that she said she wanted to show Chad when he got home. I'm so proud that like any good scientist, she knows the importance of replication.
And still gets excited by significant results.
We are having lots of fun these days! :) She told me today that it had been awhile since she had been to work with me so we will have to remedy that soon.
