Time has passed. Knowing my mom is no longer reading this blog was so very heart-breaking that I quit writing in it.
However, today Rachel explored a kit that I had ordered and I loved watching her.
Here is the kit:
Makey Makey
After dinner we opened it up and started exploring it.
 |
| Exploring alligator clips |
 |
| Exploring the smaller wires and discovering they bend easily. |
 |
| Linking two of the wires. |
 |
| Working with Dad to hook up the wires to see how things work. |
 |
| Adding apples as the buttons to run the computer. (Eating a slice too.) |
 |
| Plugging in different numbers of cables to pieces of apple to see what happens. |
 |
Eating the apple pieces after they were disconnected.
|
After we disconnected the apple pieces, Rachel tasted it and said, "It doesn't taste good. It has too much electricity in it."
Later, she said the apples tasted sweeter. Then, she said we should all hook ourselves up to the wires so we would be sweeter.
 |
| To finish the initial experiments, she created a chain with the wires. |
