Today in science we learned how lightning and thunder are made; this lesson was very enlightening (no pun intended- haha). The project that further explained this concept was the following: rub a balloon against your head for 15 seconds, slowly bring an aluminum rod near the balloon and listen and watch closely for a little lightning strike. Then go outside, and pop a balloon with a pencil- this is what happens when we hear thunder. Bla, Bla, Bla. Good lesson really. My kids learned so much they applied it to real life. Here's how I could tell.
"Ms. Zariakas, what is this?" (Student points to cheek)
"um... are you talking about my mole?"
"No, Ms. Zouzalick, what is this" (points again)
"oh, a pimple" (really?! really?!?!?!?!)
"you take pencil and pop it with balloon"
"I need to wash my face first"
"she don't pop with pencil. she go like this" (Student uses both thumbs and pretends to pinch a pimple)
"Yes, I'll take care of it when I get home"
As if this weren't enough, the conversation took a turn for the worse.
"Ms. Zariakas, you put ant on it".... to be continued
kids say the "durnest" things
