OK, I won't go so far as to make that statement, he's 4 and we attended the Einstein Science Expo, not the Nobel Prize Award ceremony. However, it's fun to see Jackson so excited about everything science. This is the second year we have attended the science expo and this year Jackson was much more active in and appreciative of the demonstrations than last year.
We were fortunate to be able to attend with another family. It was good to have the two boys together, they encouraged each other when there was hesitation trying something new. Here are just a few of the fun activities we were able to participate in.
A cute game the boys played while they waited their turn for another demonstration. There's air being blow up from below the ball and you have to control the amount of air with a lever and get the ball through the hoops.
Just having fun and being goofy.
I was amazed at how much he enjoyed this. I missed getting the photo when it was wrapped around his neck. That was a bit disconcerting to me...
Now THIS is a bubble!
Jackson stopping on the launch pad to launch the rocket he ma. He had enough air force underneath his rocket on this launch that it hit the ceiling. The boys though that was awesome.
Looking through a really strong telescope at the 'planets' that were hung on the opposite side of the expo hall.
Learning about powerline safety. This was my favorite station : )
The boys enjoyed watching the little stick man get electrocuted and catch fire. I guess that'll drive home the message to stay away from electricity.
Jackson and his buddy demonstrating to the crowd how to operate a railroad handcar.
