This time, we harnessed the power of the reaction caused by the chemicals combining to create a “mini-bomb” as Trevor called it. Want to try it yourself?…
Welcome to a new 10-day series sponsored by Prufrock Press and iHomeschool Network. 40 bloggers, more than 350 posts, and some great giveaways {including my newest book!} in the “Pin to Win” contest, all over the course of two weeks. So far, I’ve talked about the definition of giftedness and what twice-exceptional means….

I’ve been hunting around for some fun, cool, and maybe a little gross science play for Trevor to do as an incentive for finishing up his main schoolwork. {On a side note… anyone have great suggestions for getting an almost ten year old boy to be somewhat independent for.goodness.sake. If you do, leave…
