science day today

and parents

shared their science

with the children

who were

in awe

of

all of it

and loved

the discovery

and

hands-on

exploration

and

so many

questions

and

trying to make some sense

of the world

around them

carbon dioxide

dry ice

liquids

solids

gas

molecules

horses

computers

circuits

eyes

matter

changing form

and turning into

cotton candy

right before their eyes

molecular biology

and

oils and  flowers and salts

to soothe them in the bath

 when they are tired or hurt

and

then

so much excitement

when

realizing

the world is filled

with endless possibilities

—

most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist.

they are wrong: it is character.
