This year we are having Jackson (age 13) tutored in Science by a friend of mine, Mike Connor. Physical Science is just not my thing, so we opted to have someone that is very excited about that field be a mentor for Jack. Mike had the awesome idea for Jackson to start a science blog and I thought maybe some of your kids would like to follow it. There will be great ideas for experiments if you'd like to use them. We started last week with a "Gummy Bear Lab".

Enjoy!

Oh, this is incredible! What fun! I want a Mr. Mike, too!He seems to have such a good rapport with your son.
I love the pictures!
BTW, how did Jackson measure the mass of the gummies? I mean, do you have a scale or balance? I am thinking of getting an electronic scale for ds and need some ideas there.

Thanks so much, Donna. I'll forward the blog to Devin for her inspiration

She is also working on a science blog, focusing on birds and blossoms. Isn't this fun? More later!

Love,

What a great idea. Stealth learning disguised as Playing with the Computer! I love it

Mike used a scale. He said he has one that works, but not very well for measuring very small items. He's searching around e-bay for one that will be more suitable.
