Life Sciences in action


What you DO, and what you DON'T do, matters.

This is the lesson I try to teach the kids.

This lesson is then followed by another. ..For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.

I'd like to take credit for that last one, but some guy named Newton already named it; Relativity. Regardless.... neither of these life science lessons have taken with the kids, or so it seems.

An example is this: If it's your job to take out the trash, and you don't do it, it starts to pose a cat hazard and also smells up the kitchen.

In the kitchen is the coffee maker. Can we see where this is going??

When... oh.... saaaayyy a certain Mom gets up and stumbles downstairs to get her morning IV of coffee started, and she assaulted by the smell and site of trash all over the kitchen floor because the cat got into it.... she might just hunt you down, rip the covers off your bed, aim a squirt bottle and hose you down while you are still in said bed and won't stop until you go clean it up.

See....an action and equal opposite reaction.

It's all relative.

In this case the relativity is sons
