Sydney was fascinated by this air-blowing activity. Press a button on the side of the table, and air is blown out of the top of the orange cone. Try to put a ball on top of the cone and it hovers in the air. Cool!
How do you stop it from floating? Sydney's first attempt was with a hammer.
That didn't work, so she next focused on trying to discover how it worked.
It wasn't too tought to figure out that a button on the side of the table turned the air on and off. After processing that bit of information, Sydney attempted to follow the chain reaction by climbing on the table and peering into the orange cone.
I'd like to say she was smart enough not to do that again. But she's my daughter. So what do you suppose happened next? Of course, she did it over and over again. And in the end, does it really matter if you know how it works? (I suppose if you want to be an engineer or something it does.) For those of us who avoided math and science, it's just fun enjoying the end result.
