Xmas Experimentation - Part 1

Man what a week it's been...for science! I've been home with the kids and to pass the time we've been working through a science kit that Alex got for Christmas. It contains a bunch of different experiments ranging from making your own worms to building The Hadron Collider. Of-course, in true scientificness we documented our findings.

Experiment 1: Creating our own worms (aka, Playing God)

Like all good scientists we approached this experiment with extreme caution, trying not to expose ourselves to the highly toxic worm goo (Wg2).

Beware the Goo 

In fact it only took us a few minutes while exposed to the radioactive chemicals before we discovered the safety equipment we were meant to be wearing.

Sadly, after successfully creating a couple small worms, Alex's God-like command over the creation of worms went to his head and he became mad with power!...

Mad Scientist 

...and in hind-sight his tripling the dosage of radioactive worm goo was a mistake.
