The kids seem to do this very well, and to gain a lot from the experience. I assume (though I have zero experience in this) that this is similar to what happens on sports teams in schools, where there are older kids and better kids are the starters and younger kids are playing along with them, getting better by practicing with them. <br /><br /> School should not be confused with education; education happens everywhere. Of course, if it happened only at home, kids would rarely learn that centrifugal force, while certainly used in the above context, doesn’t actually exist. What you were really showing him was the centripetal acceleration of an object in rotation towards the axis.Max Watmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101245696875393492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327358209364909577.post-46534568479758537692009-12-09T11:58:22.890-05:002009-12-09T11:58:22.890-05:00HOME SCHOOL that child!!!HOME SCHOOL that child!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
