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.

I justed wanted to give a shout-out to my friends at
Oh my god is she adorable.
I can't wait til mine starts walkin' and talkin'!
:) I love it. Yay for toddlers and physics!
(My son went through a phase where he blamed gravity for everything. :D )
Love her experimental techniques ;)
I agree with Science Girl. Minnow has a certain flair :-)
Go Minnow! Looks like fun at the park!
Minnow just keeps getting cuter and cuter!
It is so fun to watch them figure things out and do their own little "experiments". Babies really are the quintessential scientists, aren't they?
Minnow is such a cutie! and obviously a genius too. :)
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?
