November 23, 2009 By Jimmie Quick 6 Comments

This is probably the main reason I love doing science experiments with Sprite: Look at that face. The wonder, the joy of discovery. This is hardly work. This is science play! So although it’s sometimes a hassle to find the supplies, set it all up, and then clean up afterwards, it’s so worth it. Not […]

In our Chemistry study, we were studying hydrogen and came across the story of the Hindenburg. So we did the Disaster Diorama of the Hindenberg! (Not an easy model, BTW.) Then Sprite added hydrogen and all of the noble gases to a large periodic table that we’re making. I’ll blog more on that later.
