The Scientists

Connor, Tanner, and Sydney love to play scientist.  It started last summer during our visit to the Utah cousins and it is still going strong.  The boys put on some of Trey's old white button down shirts as their lab coats and they play scientist.  If Sydney is involved it can get a little messy with experiments, but when the boys play it they usually just construct different "inventions" from an electronics kit they got for Christmas.  Apparently Tanner was telling his teacher about it the other day and she agreed to let him show the class an experiment during science.  Tanner told her how "there would be a hypothosis and everything."  He came home telling me all about how he was going to do this the next day.  I filed away in my brain to help him come up with a presentation later that night.  Then, I forgot all about it.  Today the boys came home excitedly telling me all about how the showed the class their experiment.  They had even brought their lab coats and safety goggles.  Tanner asked if anyone in the class had a hypothosis for what he was about to do.  Connor recorded some of the kids answers.  (they reported that no one's hypothosis was right) Then they linked a bunch of things together which ended up turning a lightbulb on and spinning a helicopter-looking blade.  The kids were impressed and their teachers said it was "magnificent".  Evidently their teachers told Sydney's teacher about it because they are now presenting their experiment to her class tomorrow. :)
