There is a certain look one can catch in the eyes of those performing scientific experiments.
If one is lucky enough to see it, I submit that moment is a high drama comprising at least five distinct acts: preparation, anticipation, (un)expectation, revelation, and understanding. Having had the opportunity to teach my fair share of youngsters a thing or two about a thing or two via scientific methods, I can tally myself among the lucky viewers of this spectacle. Below I amalgamate the acts captured from a few moments during summer sessions of Xplore Engineering I helped teach.
“Preparation”, or: Diligence
“Anticipation”, or: Three Views of the Same Event
“(Un)Expectation”, or: Peace & Horror
“Revelation”, or: Apotheosis
“Understanding”, or: Dawn
