I think it’s so important for everyone to take a good human physiology course, to understand their own health, talk to doctors, and understand current events.

Surrounded by all the lab equipment bubbling and oozing, I again felt a bit like Inga as I took photos and listened to my son’s explanation of the process.

Using litmus paper, my son learned how to use them to test for acids and bases with different types of common household items.

While my tenth grade son immersed himself in impressive labs for his Chemistry I studies,
I wondered if one of us should pose as Igor or Inga to assist?

Feeling a bit like Inga in Dr. Frankenstein’s lab, I photographed my son’s latest bubbling complexities entailing beakers, wires, and a battery.

While some of the labs sound quite complicated, this lab began in a familiar way with a twist for deeper study of salt water, boiled and frozen.

A dissecting microscope would also be great, like a giant magnifying glass, to more closely examine the flowers. Instead, we used a pocket magnifying glass

Employing creative dramatics, the three of us held hands, forming a human closed circuit, then one of us dropped hands to form a human open circuit.

In my son’s ninth grade biology lab, today, he performed an oft repeated process for different science classes with Dr. Jay Wile…boiling red cabbage leaves.

For the objective to make a slide with threads, he chose two spools from my sewing kit, red and purple. 
Wow! So that’s what they look like up close!
