Elmo Learns about Experimentation


(Video Link)


The scientific method was one of the greatest developments in human history. If a child can learn basic empiricism, then s/he has a great advantage in understanding the world. So I'm quite pleased that three and a half year-old Elmo has now learned the word "experiment". Our thanks to Craig Ferguson for teaching him.

Some babies skin are very sensitive to adhesives so I think it would be better not placed on the child's skin. The baby might peel it off, too and chew on it. Where on the skin would this be placed? In the area that will get wet or maybe - ew - even poopy? Because we all know baby poo travels... Would it be washable? I hope so! Why not just make an outside pocket for the device that could sense warmth from the urine?

If you don't know when your baby needs to be changed, you aren't paying enough attention to your baby.

I can see how such an aid would be useful for a daycare center, though.
