Aren't they smart? =P

The beguiling ideas about science quoted here were gleaned from essays, exams, and classroom discussions. Most were from 5th and 6th graders.

"You can listen to thunder after lightening and tell how close you came to getting hit. If you don’t hear it you got hit, so never mind."

"Talc is found on rocks and on babies."

"When people run around and around in circles we say they are crazy. When planets do it we say they are orbiting."

"Most books now say our sun is a star. But it still knows how to change back into a sun in the daytime."

"A vibration is a motion that cannot make up its mind which way it wants to go."

"Many dead animals in the past changed to fossils while others preferred to be oil."

"I am not sure how clouds get formed. But the clouds know how to do it, and that is the important thing."

"We keep track of the humidity in the air so we won’t drown when we breathe."
