October 7, 2009

It was a math & science day today! While Kendall was in preschool, Jacob and I did a classic experiment: we threaded a straw with a 10 ft. string; tied the string, taut, between two chairs; taped a balloon to the straw; let go of the balloon and watched how fast the straw traveled between the chairs. Jacob is really interested in airplanes, so this "jet" action was right up his alley. Then, we progressed to taping the balloon to his paper airplanes, letting go, and watching them fly around the house.

Then, Mom & Dad C. stopped by tonight. Jacob showed off his math skills with Grandpa. A little algebra was thrown in for fun!
