even more of our sciency thanksgiving

This one had to do with air pressure. I think. I should have taken notes. Sorry Wendy! Anyway. Notice the balloon does not fit into the jar.

Notice Wendy lighting a fire and creating some heat.

Notice balloon is blurry which means its was bouncing up and down and eventually..

Fit inside the jar after all!

It's just not even possible to go to a classroom and not play on the whiteboards.

They're just too much fun to pass by.

Just before we left to eat some turkey, Wendy brought out one more thing. "This ones for the adults only" she said. Holy Moly. Meet the tesla coil. (right Wendy? tesla coil?)

She used it to shock us! Well, not me. I was too chicken.

She put it on the metal leg of the chair and it gave your thigh a good shock. So I hear.

thanksgiving night I was uploading these pictures and looking through them and when I got to these I started laughing. and laughing and laughing. the folks over at the game table thought I was crazy. But I kept right on laughing until I was crying. Maybe if I would have been brave enough to get shocked it wouldn't have been so funny.

who am I kidding. those pictures just crack me up.

oh those pics are pretty funny of those guys getting "zapped" ... dave seemed to have the most dramatic reaction which makes his pic especially crack up worthy. the pic with the tesla coil is really freakin sweet!! you guys had a super educational holiday.

Oh my goodness, I didn't know you were taking pictures. I was too busy shocking people. Yes, tesla coil. Good memory. Those pictures are pretty funny. I am glad you didn't get one of me getting shocked. : )
