Science Is So Cool

SEE harmonigraph

We went to the S.E.E. Museum in Manchester on Friday, December 18.  We explored Slimy Science in the lab.  We went on a scavenger hunt through the robotic dinosaur display.  And we learned some about about the powers of force and motion, magnetism and light, electricity and simple machines while we explore the museum displays.  We had a great time.  Here are some of our favorite parts from the day:

The Van de Graaff generator was cool.  You put your hand on the ball and a rubber band was spinning in it.  The static electricity that made would make your hair stick up when you shake your head.  It was cool when we got shocked.

We liked making the silly putty because it was gooey and because we did it with our friends.  We used heat and pressure to turn liquids into a solid.

We worked to be trustworthy.  My favorite part was seeing and touching the dinosaurs.  It was really fun!  The robotic dinosaurs were cool.

We played with mirrors and lights and shadows. You pressed a button, a light flashed and it took a picture of your shadow.

I liked the pulley chairs.

We got to build and create.  We went under and inside a kaleidoscope.
