Air Pressure, Sweet Kids & other Photos of the week

So, this week (and next) we are going over weather and all that jazz in my class.  One of the things we went over was how air pressure is always going from HIGH pressure areas to LOW pressure areas.  One of the "Experiments" we did (read: observation - I DID the experiment and kids observed) was heating to boiling a soda can with 15 mL of water.  That was then inverted into an ice water bath.  Shazzam!  The high pressure area outside the can implodes the low pressure inside the can. It was AWESOME! Here is my picture of the cans at the end of the day.

Then, we have Caleb giving me a great smile while he played with his trains and cars. Notice he's just wearing a band-aid on his amputated ring finger.  It's looking so great!  He has three-fourths of the nail and it's nicely rounded.

Next, we have Papa's grilling assistant with the essential tools of the trade: Sippy cup & blanket, of course.

Finally, there is a shot of Owen with his slicked down hair and a good cheesy grin.  Man, I love these boys (and my camera!).
