Science

One of H's favorite subjects in school is science. Yes, he's only Kindergarten age, but at his Montessori school, he presents experiments to the class every month. Being a person who still doesn't enjoy public speaking, I think it's a great way to build up some self-confidence in this area.

This month, we made up our own experiment. I sent him along to school with six jars - three filled with primary colors - red, blue and yellow. Then he poured the colors into the other jars to make the secondary colors - purple, orange and green. You all know this, but it's a pretty cool experiment for a 5-year old, right? Well, he was excited. The other experiments he's done are: Runaway Pepper and Dancing Raisins. Who knows? Maybe he's following the tracks of my cousin who is an Astrophysicist currently located in the South Pole. I certainly didn't get those genes (and our moms are identical twins - go figure).
