Last week My son was playing with the book 'The Alchemist ',rushing through the pages fast,in all directions and angles. Then started firing us with questions..
" why do we get air when I rush through the pages quickly?"
we explained him how the pages push the air out etc etc......
"how the wind is created from where it is coming?'
I explained him about the temperature diff,and how the wind is formed etc .. but for sure he is gonna dig more and end up with the pressure difference too.
Last week he was exploring optics...
Not sure how many of us had time to note these or explored....Most of the time we learnt how to enjoy and admire life from him.
Following are the questions he fired ...
"why is my hand looking smaller when i dip inside the water?"
"Why s your face looking triangle when i see you through this empty glass?"
" why is your face looking funny like Ravana's with 8 heads, when i see u through this water filled bottle ?"
"why do i see 2 spoons from this side of the glass tumbler, but actually 1 spoon is dipped inside water."
All the answers to his questions are related to refraction,reflection,angles,im
Felt good about is understanding after this observation in bus while we were travelling.our bus stopped for few minutes and..
" mom look here, at this angle our bus looks smaller in those windows ?"
Yes what he noticed was correct from that angle the bus image formed on the glass panels of the shop was looking very small. To know his understanding asked him why .His answer was " its because of the light Falling into the glass,and these glasses are joined to each other like puzzle.from this angle the reflection looks smaller. " The bus started to move again....... Hope our journey of exploration continues .....
