Things That Make Our Brains Happy

Offspring the Third has a science class assignment - create a three-dimensional haplotype depicting a chromosomal abnormality, and answer various questions regarding the haplotype and the effects of the abnormality.

Science!

Herself always finds science enjoyable.  Science is good in any form, and cellular/molecular biological is especially pleasing. To read again about chromosomes; to point out the relevant parts of the books and the internet pages, and watch while Offspring the Third studies and learns; to demonstrate a way to make chromosomes out of pipe cleaners, and see Offspring the Third work so hard to make certain he had the bits and pieces lined up properly; to read all about deletions, insertions, mutations, genes and chromosomes and the intricate machinery of the human body -- excellent, all.

Times like these, Herself misses school.  She did well in school; tasks were defined, learning was always good.  Perhaps someday far from now, she'll be able to be a student again, just for fun.
