Science in action (it's all about the learning!)

One of those days when you just don't know what to do with yourself. You don't don't want to read, write, draw, play games or frankly anything your mum suggests. You bash your skateboard about for a bit, ask to go on the play station and your mum says "no". Then you find something that you you'd really like to play with. But you're foiled at the first hurdle, the batteries are bad. Man, can this day can any worse? You rummage through the kitchen drawers, wow, there are batteries aplenty! But you have no idea if they're good or bad and your mum is just no help.

But then your hero walks in the door. He's tall, wears glasses and just so happens to have a battery tester and is happy to go through all the ice cream tubs full of old batteries. He explains gently how they work and how to check them and let's you have a go. He talks volts and acids and you are understanding. Science is working for you. A bad day turned good.

Thanks Daddy!
