I guess we all learn our physics leasons from somewhere. Nothing like a practical demonstration of how things work to really make the lesson stick.
When I was about 4, we played hide and seek in our basement. We had an old style refridgerator in the basement and it was a favorite place for kids to hide. Little did I know, the other kids told someone they were hiding there, so when everyone was running to "base" another kid would come by and open the door. I climbed in, shut the door, and found out that old style fridges are soundproof! Only after a few minutes did my older sister go looking for me and finally opened the door.
