Apologia General Science

JL is working on his science experiment ---- titled a Chemical Reaction. Okay - check out the table - so far in this experiment I am calling it - Very Messy Child Syndrome. JL has the baking soda on the table, on the floor and finally some in the balloon!
Chemical reaction in progress --- the balloon is blown up by the reaction. My kids love this experiment. We did it 3 years ago when JT was in General Science. JL got to help out. This time it was 'his turn' to be the driver! (so to speak). He got to be 'in charge' and running the experiment with his younger brother watching and learning. So what will we do when it is JJ's turn to do this one - since he will have no younger brothers to teach we will probably have to invite a few neighbor kids over to watch the fun! How else will he get the opportunity to be in charge when it is finally 'his turn'!
