The other morning, my husband came back in after leaving for work- he had this in his hands...
He had left his Mountain Dew in the car overnight, and it had pushed frozen pop up and out of the straw. The pop ice art was entertaining in and of itself, but the best part about this cup of frozen pop was the way my husband stopped and showed it to the kids- not just because it's funny, but to show them how liquids expand when frozen. It was a quick moment, but it was like a snapshot of the way we homeschool. We're not really full-fledged unschoolers, but we are pretty relaxed with the formal learning. So much of our real learning comes in moments like this- I love it when that happens!
BRRR!!! Those really are the best learning moments.
I don't know if the kids will, but I will always remember my first conversation about convection with my boys. We were outside and had a small bonfire going. It was chilly outside and you could see the heat rise up in the air. The burnt leaves/debris would float up in the warm current, flip around a little and then drift down once it hit the cooler air.
I bet your kids were excited to have a little Mountain Dew popsicle for a snack! :-)
