Some great lessons from GeekDad
I’ve been following Geekdad for a while now. There is a post he wrote a bit ago that I still want to comment on, but for the moment, let’s look at this heat conduction experiment.
The premise is simple, what materials conduct heat (through water) best. While this is an awesome experiment for the kids, the best part was that on the first try the set up didn’t work. The modeling clay used to keep the objects to test conduction got wet and so the objects fell into the water.
Undaunted, they tried again and had a successful experiment.
Lesson here…some times finding the right way to test you hypothesis is the hardest part.
