Today in science class... we had more science experiments. (Ok this was actually on Monday but I got a little behind.) We learned about convection cycles, taste buds (i tried a cry baby for the first time! the gum didn't last long but it sure was sour!), fat free foods v. fat foods, and miscible and immiscible liquids. Sometimes, it is pretty funny to watch grown adults be in an elementary classroom. It is quite necessary because it is important to get on a child's level, but it also makes for some great conversations. I also had an excellent picture moment but alas by the time I got a camera, the moment was gone. It was of two 'students' (college students) pouring liquid very carefully and watching and waiting to see what would happen while the teacher (college student) helps. Ah yes! exciting times. Anyway...
On predicting what will happen when an oil and a liquid are combined...
Girl: I think they will separate.
Boy: I think she's done this before.
Girl: I think I'm smart.
Boy: I think your a liar. Wait, what grade are we in? 6th? yes that's something I totally would have said in 6th grade.
Ms. Quinn: and you would have totally been in the corner!
Girl and Boy poking each other. Innocent bystander: are they in love?
Sometimes we are such kids in class :) Oh to be back in the day when you say you are going out to eat and they automatically think you have a date.
