A Character Experiment

The boys and I were completing an activity for their character education this afternoon...one of the fun and exciting things we've picked up this summer. Our topic this week...self-control. Some neighbor friends joined our little lesson. We discussed shaking up the bottle, kinda like life shakes us up sometimes, and what happens if we let ourselves explode. What a mess! We also talked about not holding in the things that shake us up too. We used club soda and tonic water, which didn't quite provide the explosion Sam was anticipating. We may have a redo with sticky soda soon. All in all, it was visual, it was fun, and the boys enjoyed playing with their friends.
