I was on lunch duty today.
Sometimes I don't always hear the things I expect to hear at lunch.
Today it was, "I figured out how we can get energy from flowers. I'm serious!! You wanna know how? Well yesterday I was eating honey and I realized that honey gets its energy from nectar collected by bees. The nectar gets its energy from the flower, which gets its energy from the sun, which gets its energy from hyperactive gas.."
I have come to a realization that there is no way I can "teach" these children everything about energy. I've long since dropped the idea of "covering" the whole entire topic and tried instead to light the flame of curiosity. It is thrilling to watch as even lunch turns into science class.
