My son's homework asked, 'What is the difference between a hypothesis and a theory?' He wrote, 'A hypothesis is when you guess. A theory is when you guess and then you write a whole essay about it so no one can tell you you're wrong.' His teacher wrote, 'Close, but a theory is a well-substantiated explanation.'

My son's science project was supposed to demonstrate photosynthesis. He put a leaf in a jar of water, waited a week, and wrote, 'The leaf got wet. The water got leafy. We are both changed.' His teacher wrote back, 'Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.' My son wrote back a response.

My daughter's science fair project was supposed to demonstrate the principle of buoyancy. She put a cork in a bowl of water, the cork floated, and she wrote, 'The water was not strong enough to hold the cork down.' Her teacher wrote back, 'The cork is less dense than water. It floats due to the buoyant force.'

My son's homework said, 'If a train leaves Station A at 60 miles per hour and another train leaves Station B at 40 miles per hour, heading toward each other, when do they meet?' I did the math. He looked at me and said, 'Dad, trains do not leave stations at 60 miles per hour.' I said, 'This is a thought experiment.' He said, 'The train is in the picture. It has a cab. It has wheels. It is not a thought. I saw a train last week. It left the station at the speed of a man walking to the mailbox. The answer is not two hours. The answer is eventually, and probably not today.'

My son's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of gravity. He dropped a rock off the balcony, timed it, and wrote in his report: 'Object fell. Conclusion: gravity works. Next time I will drop a heavier object to determine if speed increases.' His teacher wrote back: 'Please do not drop objects off the balcony. Also, Galileo covered this in 1590 and he did not have a balcony.'
