Paperclip Tree

Mood: Aching Body

Unlike most tuition days, today I didn't hand out assessment books and mock test papers for them to do.. Instead, we had project day. I had planned to execute some Science Experiments for the eldest so she can further understand the wonder of nature. In the end, all 4 joined in for the hands-on experience. Since the eldest, Zafirah, didn't fully grasp the mechanics of observation, classification and analysis, I let her embark on an experience of her own.

First off, I helped her understand the difference between living and non-living things by planting some green beans, a piece of wood and a paperclip. I was asking her what she would expect at the end of 4 weeks.. She said, the green bean would sprout some leaves and grow, the wood might grow some mushrooms and the paperclip will jus get rusty..

Excellent.. [thats when I saw she had her science guide book open to the results]

And the funny thing is that her younger brother contended that analysis.. He said that the paperclip would also grow to become a paperclip tree.. It would sprout paperclip leaves and flower paperclips too. He proudly asks, 'Where do you think paperclips comes from?'

To make him quieten down and not influence the youngest sis with this theory, I told him, he would have to grow bread mould. He got excited and ask me what to get..

I ask for:
1 piece of bread,
half a glass of water,
and some foil.

I get:
half a bread [ the other half in his mouth]
a tiny bit of water [for his thirst after the snack of bread]
and a whole lot of foil..

Kids...
