The first 10 weeks of Science this year consists of presentations on Famous Scientists.
Queue Sam Morse.
One of his descendants was a neighbor of ours growing up in Ohio. He was a fighter pilot in the A.F. with a picture of good ol' Sam proudly displayed amongst the family photos.
When I asked Dr. Dh if he had ever made a telegraph machine, or could, he was confident. He is a scientist at heart.
So, one fine Saturday afternoon found Flower and Dad in the front yard with an odd assortment of stuff, measuring, cutting, crafting, drilling, honing and doing electronic things. (yes, I am the wordsmith, not the scientist).
The end result was not one, but two telegraph machines that "talked" to each other.
After Flower's great presentation on Samuel Morse, she tapped out:
Cutest telegraph operator in the west.
Challenge B, and best Dad ever, for the win!
