Mamasan (to her son and boyfriend): Today we are learning about water in its three natural states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Ok<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mamasan: All of us lock elbows together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(They do)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mamasan: Now we walk around, like this (they clumsily walk around, giggling while doing so). We are water in solid state at freezing temperature. We are ice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(More clumsy walking)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mamasan: Now the temperature rises and we loosen up. (They unlock elbows and hold hands)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mamasan: We’re water in fluid form. Let’s dance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(They dance around, holding hands and laughing)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mamasan: Ok, final state. Temperature increases… Aaaaand nowwwww we’re STEAM<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(They let go of each other’s hands and bounce around the room. If Mamasan owned dogs, they’d be running around barking. She has a cat who is likely watching from a relatively quiet and safe distance.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We think it’s the boy who is learning. Actually it’s Mamasan who is developing her Ms Frizzle skills, hehe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
