My Ideal Classroom

I wish this was my classroom.

I taught my daughter more about rock geology today than I could ever have taught her under the glare of noble gas light in a square (or rectangle) room.

We even touched on biology in a discussion of bivalves (her new necklace) and dead dragonfly’s.

Then as the summer afternoon thunder came, we discussed barometric pressure, the speed of sound waves, mediums and atmospheric science.

As a wise science teacher once said, we can’t teach science under fluorescent lights.
