Morning Rabbit Hole

Oh boy, here we go…
Debating and fact finding this morning!

This is how it went… First it was asking about shark facts. Which leads to how to prevent a shark attack and why sharks attack humans. Then wanting to know which animal kills more humans every year. To how hippopotamuses kill more humans than sharks. Which they discovered why hippopotamuses are super territorial. Then somehow spiraled to why can’t freshwater animals can’t survive in the ocean. That lead to how some saltwater animals can’t adapt to freshwater, but some can because marshes and swamps bridge the two waters.

Diving into that rabbit hole surely spirals quickly… That’s the fun of learning on a whim.

A Snippet Inside the Mind of a Homeschooler

Interesting conversation with my 10 year old this morning…

My 10 year old was telling me how he would like to find a way to harvest the molecular energy of trees or plants in general. Then figure a way to transfer and store it in batteries to produce another self-reliant power.
