rockstar scientist!!

today ryan and 5 other honeywell employees took their show on the road. they went to afton's school and set up 3 learning stations.

the first is shown above...the children were shown all kinds of safety clothing and were then able to try it all on. they loved it!

the second, was an experiment with separating color. they used their markers to color on coffee filters (i think) cut into a butterfly shape. then they put them in water and watched the color being pulled into the water. it was very cool. the result was tie-dyed like butterflies. the third, was mixing color. the two scientists helped the kids drop color into beakers and then spun the color together with a magnetic spinner thing (sorry, but i'm not the scientist in the family). they also loved this one!

we stayed for lunch with aftie and ryan was the celebrity of the lunchroom. besides being really tall, he was easily recognizable with his lab jacket on. all the kids were pointing and whispering, "there's the scientist!" it was seriously cute! afton felt like the queen of lunch because her dad was THE scientist.
