Hysterical Science

I was making dinner last night and Joseph (age 11) walks by (I was also on the phone!) with a water bottle that has a catheter sticking out of it. It looked like he was using it as a straw to drink from it. He told me that he was figuring out how it worked (aka homeschool science class on his own). He said he drank the water out of the bottle (not through the catheter—and it was a clean one that I gave him several days earlier because he wanted it to look at, etc) and he told me that he didn’t waste the drinking water. He filled it up so that he could watch how the catheter works and drains the bladder. Here are pictures. I had to share. He had it like it was in picture 2 as he walked by…….. with the catheter in one hand stretched out like one might drink from a straw……

One of the things I love most about homeschooling, the joy of having time for discovery.
