Elementary Science - Part Two ...

These were actual things that kids have said about our various phenomena of the world...you gotta love them!

*Vacuums are nothings. We only mention them to let them know we know they're there.

*Some oxygen molecules help fires burn while others help make water, so sometimes it's brother against brother.

*Some people can tell what time it is by looking at the sun. But I have never been able to make out the numbers.

*We say the cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation gets blamed for a lot of things people forget to put the top on.

*In looking at a drop of water under a microscope, we find there are twice as many H's as O's.

*Clouds just keep circling the earth around and around. And around. There is not much else to do.

*Water vapor gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be called a drop, it does.

*We keep track of the humidity in the air so we won't drown when we breathe.

*Rain is often known as soft water, oppositely known as hail.

*In some rocks you can find the fossil footprints of fishes.

*A blizzard is when it snows sideways.

*A monsoon is a French gentleman.

*Thunder is a rich source of loudness.

*Isotherms and isobars are even more important than their names sound.

*It is so hot in some places that the people there have to live in other places.

*The wind is like the air, only pushier.
