Doing science isn't restricted to fancy laboratories with equipment that costs more than your house (though, admittedly, working in one kicks butt)! A whole lot of discovery can happen in your own kitchen, with common household items, if you let your curiosity and imagination lead the way. And I can say with confidence that if you look for opportunities to think "I wonder why it works THAT way?" or "what made THAT happen?", you will come across them every. single. day.
So that's my challenge! Find these areas of daily intellectual curiosity. It could be something like "why does my laptop get hot when it's running?" or "why do I get a shock sometimes when I touch a door knob?" Email questions like that to me, or comment them here. I will read them and will periodically come up with a strategy to test them, including all materials needed to try it for yourself. This section of the blog is up to you! It's your creation.
Happy exploring!
