Discovering Science In Full Swing

The boys had their science class at Saint Mary's University, last night. This is their third class for the year, and they are LOVING it!
Last night, they conducted experiments and learnt about resistance and conductance. They made "squishy" circuits, out of play dough...and this ain't your ordinary play dough people!  They also built or helped build a high voltage motor, out of a cathode ray tube , aluminum foil alligator clips and 2 empty pop cans. Pretty cool!!
Both boys were more than eager to show and tell when they got home.  Man....I wish I had this much fun in science when I was their age :)
The profs, gave us a link to look at and try when we get time. Here is the link, and if you have time yourselves, check it out. Squishy Circuits
