Science’s Boy Wonder
I used to check out this one particular library book out of the library all the time. It was an old 1960s era book on home science projects. Full of pictures, demonstrations and recipes of for the blossoming boy scientist, I can still remember nearly ruining mom’s kitchen a time or two, as well as getting in trouble from my dad for misappropriating a tool or something from the garage, all in the interest of science. And I laugh now when I look back and how I loved all these science projects, yet hated the school’s science fair. Funny really. I was more a purist. Science for Science’s sake, not some “Publish or Perish” fifth grader caught up in all the grammar school politics.
Which leads me to this gem. I discovered while perusing SciTechDaily. Bizarre Stuff features a look back on home science projects.
So, while you are planning your weekend, take a moment to dedicate some time to the pursuit of knowledge.
