One grade had everyone reach their hands into mystery boxes to determine which "gross body part" you might be touching. My kids refused to reach their hands in, so mommy ended up touching the applesauce/cottage cheese mixture, slimy noodles, and whatever that blood-like concoction was. Thanks, guys.
The fifth grade did a magic show, which proved to be fun. One of Sam's buddies from soccer got to assist with an experiment. Sam wouldn't volunteer, he said maybe when he's older.
There was also a section for Parent Presenters. We received a flyer a few weeks beforehand requesting volunteers, and I immediately handed it to Chris. I have noting to contribute to Science Night. To my happy surprise, Chris immediately jumped on board, excited to relive his days as Science Museum Employee. He practiced his experiments on the kids at home, purchased himself a lab coat so he'd look the part.
And we had to wait until the very end of the night to get to Daddy's table (unfortunate luck with the rotation schedule). By the time we got to him, Chris had almost no voice left, as it was pretty loud in there and he did his dry ice experiments over and over and over for about an hour and a half! I think my scientist was a hit! And Sam and I are proud to have en enthusiastically-involved Daddy!

So much fun looking at the pictures, took me back a few years when Chris and Andy worked at G-Wiz. I think that experience is what led Andy to be a teacher. Chris still looks good in a lab coat and how proud Sam must have been.
