All of my children love the NOVA science program. They talk endlessly about officer wakamatsu; how great he is, his stories, his life and experiences they have with him.
Whenever they do something NOVA related the excitedly share it with the other children. The older ones remember their similar experience and the younger ones comment how excited they are to be able to do the same thing in he future.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised really. I frequently enter a room with all the children huddled around tiny's laptop watching mythrbusters. They have now watched all the available seasons.
But I digress...
One of the NOVA projects is about rockets. You can draw one, but if you make one you get something special. It is highly encouraged. When it was princess' turn for the rocket project the two older brothers convinced her she had to make one.
After much indecision and contemplating, she decided to make one out of rice crisis. The teachers said it had never been done before, but princess was determined so they gave permission.
A two liter bottle was body the mold, the fins and numbers were cut out using cookie cutters, and the glued on using heated marshmellow.
She was very proud of her creation...I think it turned out very well. The best part was doing it with her.
