They say that education is a continuous journey. Difficult to understand if we were hanging around the school through courses and exams, but they are learning can be more fun if they become an educational game. Take a practical application, and therefore many issues that have been learned in class.
This morning I took a shower, a common phenomenon I hasten to add me, but today I had one of those Eureka moments – perhaps a tribute to other famous swimmers. Have you ever thought about how science is currently participating in the shower?
In short, I have the following abbreviations are used as highlights of each issue published during my ablutions.
• Biology (B)
• Physics (P)
• Chemistry (C)
• Mathematics (M)
• Citizenship (City)
• Psychology (PSY)
• Geography (G)
• Geology (Geo)

The first question to raise is why we have to take a shower? Experience is produced in the elimination of body odor from bacteria-functional (B), and physiological, such as endorphins, which help you wake up and make you feel at ease (Psy) induces the Elimination of body odor and makes you a little less desirable Other relatives (City).
Water is supplied by a header tank under gravity Newton (P) – and since I am a wimp believer, heated pool. Energy is consumed in the water by converting electrical energy into heat, P) heat. This is measured in watts, the result of multiplying volts amperes (MP).
In response to the condemnation of marketing, I attracted by the pleasures of a shower. The increased power (P) increases endorphins (B), but unfortunately, 12-fold the amount of water (Geo) is used as the force of gravity all have showers, one of which must be heated (P) It is the depredation of natural resources, literally, water and could cause environmental problems (forgot to add the code from the environment – that ae (a). The availability of water depends on the Geography (G) and storage natural, local aquifers (GEO).
As a man, I have a penchant for offering Bogofa (Buy One Get One Free) in supermarkets and all in blue packaging (Psy) The purchase excess storage unnecessary (M) a ban) My wife (the city that all funds have managed their shower labels used and care directions.
Today, shower experiment has been a cornucopia of ingredients, not blue. The shampoo promised an “infusion produce fruitful” to “Dazzling Shine” (Eng) from the passion flower, patchouli and) vetiver ingredients (B. conditioner provided “Tangle Free Hair with rising band” Improving the light of Citrus “lift” (Eng), tangerine, lemongrass and aloe vera (B) and the rest of the body below the head was again subjected to having to really spoil “(Eng) fennel (B ) and minerals of the sea (C), based in a silky shower gel (C).
The postal administration of shower powder, talcum powder containing minerals (C Geo). The deodorant, promising a “keep the desert air – dry (Eng) Underarm (BG) of aluminum-zirconium trichlorohydrex (C). The shaving lotion contains alcohol (C).
Within 5 minutes I had 150 gallons of water, 4 kilowatts of energy (P) consumed half of a mountain meadow additives, and drained off the lot, the plants water treatment where they use bacteria (B) for the ingredients to release water – and here we go again.
Under a simple shower will appear availability from now. My shower involved 34 applications of science and learning and a lot of fun, how many can be made for links with education.
