This Week's Science Lesson

Nathan has the privilege to teach Science to the kids this year. Mainly because I can't do everything and he's so much better with the more hands on type learning/teaching AND he loves to play with stuff (they get to do experiments with batteries and also plant stuff and watch it grow). Our washing machine is not working, and we have tons and tons of laundry to do because of the smell and mold that is covering everything we stored for the last year. This past week when I walked out into the veranda and Nathan had the washing machine all apart, I heard him saying to Nandry, "well, after OBSERVING the washer and COLLECTING DATA, my HYPOTHESIS is that the balance switch gets triggered and stops the spin cycle, so lets TEST our hypothesis...how's that for an example of the scientific method?" It's still not working...MY hypothesis is that the circuit board is fried and we need to wait for someone to hand carry us a new one, bummer.
