Snow Day

Normally when public schools get a day off because of snow we carry on as usual but this one fell on a day that we had planned to be at our co-op anyways so Legofest it is!

Check out this coal powered artillery Viktor created:

He says that the black base is the coal and explained to me how when it gets heated steam rises through the metal tubes building pressure enough to shoot things out of the barrels.  I never formally taught him any of these ideas.  We had one quick conversation about steam at the Cincinnati History Museum several weeks ago but I honestly thought I was talking to a wall.  This goes to show they are listening even when you think they aren't.
