pace was so excited to pick out a new experiment! he loves picking out an experiment, reading the materials list and gathering all of our supplies. on this day, i think i was finishing up cleaning or dishes, or something, and pace had gathered all the materials, cut the straws, came and got me and waved his hand over everything, "look, mom, it's all ready!"
we made a "water wheel" of sorts to learn about water power. we were supposed to pour water in the bottle and watch it turn around, but we discovered it worked better if we continuously poured water. it eventually turned into a mini splashpad.
we decided to recycle our old projects into new ones and make collages. i showed the boys how the paper fasteners worked, and how they could spin the attached paper. pace decided that would make a perfect compass for his adventure collage. max loved finding pictures from the national geographic--he found a fuzzy worm thing and decided it needed googly eyes. they also both loved the "race tape" and put some fish stickers and flags along the race course.
