Anyone up for molecule building?





My husband is an organic chemist...I only know how to say it...I personally found chemistry rather difficult and avoided it at all cost. Until, of course, this very handsome chemist and I became friends...and then closer friends. Suddenly I was very interested in listening to him talk about his work and draw me pictures of his work...of course, I just listened to his foreign language and pretended to know what all those doodles were. It all worked out in the end...he promises to take over the upper level sciences for homeschooling :)

Anyhoo, he recently brought home a molecule building set for the girls and they opened it this morning. What fun! It's like a better version of tinker toys...everyone should have one of these for their kids :) I loved watching the girls get creative! B wants to know what molecule she created...I told her she'd have to ask her dad. S also loved it...she wants to hang her creation from the ceiling...we'll see. I love this kind of time with the girls...it is wonderful watching them learn and create.

Enjoy~
