Science Geeks?

We’ve had a ton of science experiments going on around here, as well as science projects. 

Nigel made some animal tracks one week.

And experimented with chocolate and corn syrup to see how an anteater’s tongue works.

Stewart had to develop his own experiment using water, salt, sugar, corn syrup.  He decided to measure how eggs float (or sink) as each is used as a solute.  He figured out control vs. variable.

He also has thus far build a glider, a steam boat and a racer to conduct experiments.

I don’t think either of them plans to make a career out of this stuff… but it is more interesting than other years, as you can see.  🙂

AWANA crazy hair night

The girls are all doing AWANA this year at a nearby church.  We are so excited to be part of this excellent paraministry.  We are particularly excited that Johanna can be part of it.  She is a Cubbie, Tabitha is a SPARKS, and Marie is a TnT.  They got to do a crazy hair night and both Johanna and Tabitha have earned their bags and gear.  Marie was a bit confused on what her objective was the first two weeks, but I think we have that all cleared up.  She should get her gear soon. 
Crazy hair night was a TON of fun.
