*Kero looks at the problem*
Okay....I don't know why Rhea set you this problem...this is division, not multiplication. To answer your question, a train is a vehicle, like a boat, except it travels on land. It can move very fast, and takes a lot of people from one place to another.
Now, she says it traveled 600 Miles in Five Hours....to solve that for speed, you have to use the Speed equation....Distance = Rate times Time....or, in this case, Speed equals Distance Divided by Time....with me so far? Do I need to draw a picture?

He has that glazed look many students give their teachers when they've gone right over their heads. Kero looks at the problem sheet again and does a head smack. Some how some of little Kero's home work had gotten into Passura's. And As he barely understand multiplication he finds it amazing that he got as many right as he had.

*Kero headsmacks...and promises to smack Rhea upside the head as well*
Pasa...dear one...this isn't your homework....this is L. Kero's...Rhea's oldest....this is his homework...hang on, and I'll go get yours from her...though you only have to do it if you want to...seeing as how you did all that work, I think a night off from math is in order.
*Darts into the Void, returning with a sheet of paper*
That can be your work for tomorrow...now, what about your reading?

Pasa shrugs. "Some of those were really easy, but were very hard too. I didn't know I could count that high." He pull out his book that Kero gave him to work on for reading and they ae soon hard at work deciphering one of Grimm's fairy tales, with Kero providing translations for those names and words the boy does not have in his vocabulary yet.

*Kero nods*
You're doing really well, Pasa...now, would you like to learn a little about Science?

"What's that?" he asks reluctantly closing the book of tales, carefully marking his place with a piece of braided grass.

*Kero smiles*
Science is the process of learning about the world itself...what makes it work...it is probably the broadest defintion of all learning. You literally look at something...anything...and try to figure out how it got there, what it's made of...everything. Interested?
*Obviously, Kero...and I....are very Scientific*

**ummm... can I edge into that group? though I"m more like Ame than anyone else... is there such a thing as a scientific artist?**
"Do you mean why fish hide some places and not others and why the sky is blue, stuff like that?" asks Passura, his entire body alert and interested.

**Of course...always room for another scientific mind**
*Kero nods*
Exaxctly what Science is all about....Why and How are the questions a scientist asks. Here....you want to see the cool things science can do?

The boy nods eagerly,but he has a question. "Do?... mes'sirrah.... I thought you said it was a study of how and why?"

*Kero nods*
It is...but that's the really nice thing about Science, Pasa...once we know how thigs work, and why they work the way they do...we can do things with that knowledge, right?
*Kero pulls out a glass of water and a small bit of Lithium*
Now...this is metal, right...so what do you think will happen if I throw it in water?

**cute... a lot a flash there... how big a piece are ye dropping in? now I have to act dumb huh?**
The boy shrugs. "It will sink." he says without blinking an eyelash.

**Not a big one....not even enough to poison the water...enough to light on fire and make a loud pop**
*Kero nods, pulling Passura a safe distance away, and drops the metal in the water...where it floats...then begins to whiz around, ignites, and finally explodes with a loud pop*
How odd was that...it didn't sink?

** try dropping a block of sodium into a pond... ye get a really nice reaction then... **
The boy looks at him and blinks. "Is... is it safe?" At Kerobian's nod he walks over and begins to examine the cup. He sniffs the water and wrinkles his nose. "Why did it do that?" he asks in a puzzled voice.

*Kero shakes his head*
I can try to explain it to you, but you probably won't understand just yet....but I'll give it a whirl.
*Spins off into a discussion about atoms, moving then into elements, and how some elements act like each other*
