<p>S2 had to build a model of a cell for bio in 9th grade – he baked a round cake and decorated with all the various cell structures using jellybeans, licorice, colored frosting, etc.</p>
<p>He was asked to repeat this before the semester exam so that the kids could “study” the parts of a cell. Yeah, right.</p>
<p>P3T: same kid is also adept with a blowtorch for cooking. Makes a wicked creme brulee.</p>
<p>Same kid’s Alg II teacher taught math and physics with an exercise called “Bungee Barbie.” They had to figure how many rubber bands it would take to drop Barbie off the 2nd floor balcony at school without hitting her head on the ground. They had collect data on their attempts, graph and write a paper. It was a legendary project. I still have his paper in his “permanent file” here at home. Teacher was a MIT grad. :D</p>
