Blargh, the science fair edition

[eris_star]

So, remember a while back when I proudly posted that the boy's science fair project had won first place in his grade, and he and the other first place winners from his school would be competing at the regional science fair this February

Just play a lot of LBP with him, and make some awesome levels. :) e-science!@!!

Well, yes.

But in addition, he get a "my first chemistry" kit from us for Giftmas, and he gave Red a book of kids' science experiments to do at home (the pictures seem heavy on the "craft project" aspect).

I see a volcano in our future, just as soon as it's not stupidly cold outside. Tuesday he was telling me about a water vapor experiment he'd seen somewhere that he wants to do. Yay doing stuff! Yay learning by accident while you make a huge mess!

Have you taken him to a Benihana yet? Food Volcano!

Volcano is on the way!!

At the National Gallery of Art I purchased a "Pocket Volcano" for Andrew. ( And I can't help thinking: "Is that a volcano in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?")

Stock up on baking soda and vinegar, this baby's gonna blow!!

And I can take comfort in the fact that volcanoes are on the list of "forbidden items" for the science fair - as is pretty much any display that would make a mess or leave crumbs or mold behind.
