Posted by SciWo on March 24, 2008 Minnow discovers sand and explores gravitational versus turbulent effects upon releasing a handful into the wind. When we got home, we read Bagnold’s “The Physics of Blown Sand and Desert Dunes.” No, not really…we saved it for bedtime! 
Below the fold, Minnow demonstrates some classical mechanics principles at the playground.
Maybe this could be a late entry to the Accretionary Wedge carnival….
I love it. Yay for toddlers and physics!
(My son went through a phase where he blamed gravity for everything. 
)
Love her experimental techniques 
Go Minnow! Looks like fun at the park!
Wow! Remember the thrill of sandboxes (first lessons in mas wasting, wind & water erosion, and environmental degradation?
She keeps growing, yet retaining her cuteness!
Ooh, where can I get one?
