Making science fun

Despite IJ knowing everything there is to know about the world, she does struggle a little with science. It wasn’t my favourite subject in school either. But over the last few weeks we have both starting looking at the subject differently after receiving a science kit full of experiments to do at home.

We’ve been mixing water with food colouring and learning about density, filling balloons with air and water to learn about gases, making hangers that hum and even creating our own electrical circuit.

The Gallery: Water

This isn’t the best photograph in the world, and if I knew the boy in the green striped top it would have a lot more meaning. Alas, he is a stranger who wandered into my photograph one sunny afternoon during a trip to the gardens at Chatsworth House in Derbyshire.

As this week’s Gallery theme is water, the alternative was to post a photograph of the Dead Sea. However, that would have been blog suicide as I have written about my day at the desert at least twice already.

And there is nothing worse than someone who posts about the same thing all the time. So here’s an image from Chatworth, which I now seem to remember I have posted about before, not once but twice. If I dare to dip into the archives a little further there may be a third post hidden in there.

So I am renaming this blog Repetitive Scribble. It seems appropriate and has a nice ring to it.

Do visit Tara’s blog for more entries to this week’s Gallery.

What happened when we joined a random queue

This really isn’t what you expect to see in the middle of a busy city centre, but when the heavens opened during a recent visit to Sheffield we decided to join the queue of people waiting to go inside, despite the fact that we had no idea what we were about to walk into.

Given that the ticket sellers appeared to work at the local cathedral, it was quite possible we were walking into some sort of organised religious worship never to emerge quite the same again.
