Kids know science

* One horsepower is the amount of energy it takes to drag a horse 500 feet in one second.
* You can listen to thunder after lightning and tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don't hear it you got hit, so never mind. 
* Talc is found on rocks and on babies. 
* The law of gravity says no fair jumping up without coming back down. 
* When they broke open molecules, they found they were only stuffed with atoms, But when they broke open atoms, they found them stuffed with explosions. 
* When people run around and around in circles we say they are crazy. When planets do it we say they are orbiting. 
* Rainbows are just to look at, not to really understand. 
* While the earth seems to be knowingly keeping its distance from the sun, it is really only centrificating. 
* Someday we may discover how to make magnets that can point in any direction. 
* South America has cold summers and hot winters, but somehow they still manage. 
* Most books now say our sun is a star. But it still knows how to change back into a sun in the daytime. 
* Water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. There are 180degrees between freezing and boiling because there are 180 degrees between north and south. 
* A vibration is a motion that can't make up its mind which way it wants to go. 
* There are 26 vitamins in all, but some of the letters are yet to be discovered. Finding them all means living forever. 
* There is a tremendous weight pushing down on the center of the Earth because of so much population stomping around up there these days.

* Many dead animals in the past changed to fossils while others preferred to be oil.  (my fav :-) )
* Genetics explain why you look like your father and if you don't why you should.

* Some oxygen molecules help fires burn while others help make water, so sometimes it's brother against brother.

* We say the cause of perfume disappearing is evaporation. Evaporation gets blamed for a lot of things people forget to put the top on. 
* To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions are things that are still all mixed up. 
* In looking at a drop of water under a microscope, we find there are twice as many H's as O's. 
* Clouds are high flying fogs. 
* I am not sure how clouds get formed. But the clouds know how to do it, and that is the important thing. 
* Clouds just keep circling the earth around and around. And around. There is not much else to do. 
* Water vapor gets together in a cloud. When it is big enough to be called a drop, it does. 
* Humidity is the experience of looking for air and finding water. We keep track of the humidity in the air so we won't drown when we breathe. 
* Rain is often known as soft water, oppositely known as hail.
