I enjoyed this video of a guy named Gever Tulley. He speaks of five (six really) "dangerous" things your kids should do. He's working on a book of 50 things your kids should do. I'll be interested!
One of the five things is to deconstruct an appliance. We have a non-working VCR and we gave the kids each a screw driver and let them go at it. They managed to get it pulled apart into many pieces and had fun doing it.
Now we know what's in there AND how to use a screw driver. What else can we take apart now? haha!
