Home School: How To Make A Cannon

This is my son Patrick, a budding scientist at 12 years old. He is totally unscripted, and didn't plan any of what he was saying on camera.

Patrick was working on a simple science experiment where he wanted to see what would happen when baking soda and vinegar (two ingredients he became fascinated with years ago when we made a volcano in the sink); where held under pressure. He quickly learned that they will make a 'cool cannon' sound when they are put in a plastic bottle, recapped and shook. (the after effect of the "smoke" completed it!)

This video was shot after about ten minutes of Patrick working on his experiment; he called me outside to shoot it live. I did everything I could not to bust out laughing at how much he reminded me of someone reading from a script or even teaching a class. It makes me laugh every time I watch it.
[NOTE: I had to convert the file for another program, and the trial version was all I had access too, the words on the screen disappear 30 seconds into the video... sorry, it's the best I had to work with at the time!]
