The See Science Center By: Leo

A while back we went to the See Science Center. First we had to drive there. When we got there we took a nice walk then we went and took bathroom stops. Next we went to the elevators. We went to the entrance of the science museum. We entered the room we
talked to a man who talked to us about basic rules such as not running. Then we were
surprised when he told us calmly that the one thing that was not to be touched was a
Lego setup that took 3,000,000 Lego pieces and I seem to remember the number of hours as 12,000 hours. Then we looked at three cages with little turtles in them. After doing that we went to different stations. First I went to a smell station then I lost interest in that so I went to a different station. Stella went to a "Think Squarely" station. Then she switched to a different station while I tried out my skills at thinking squarely. The thinking squarely station really wasn't a station at all it was a challenging puzzle where you would put different shapes together to make a square. After succeeding in this I went to a different exhibit. It was a motor that blew out hot air and when you a ball over the machine it blew it high in the air without letting it fall until of course when you did one of these two things turning off the machine or putting your hand between the ball and the blowhole. The next thing we did was we went to an exhibit where you had two hand tracings and you would put your hands in them and then someone else would push a button and as soon as you saw a green light flash you would hit a button and the machine would time you and tell you what job you would be best at in the future. It said according to my reflexes. I am a future gardener. Next we did a few more tests. Then we went to a small door frame. We went through and saw a bunch of different exhibits the first was one where you would put your cheeks to two rubber pieces. There would be a wooden triangle that someone would hold up you would look strait forward toward a spring. Then there would be labels that the other would move the wood triangle across such as 180 degrees, 80 degrees, 40 degrees etc. On the triangle shape there were printings such as squares, circles, triangles etc. Then on another side of the triangle shape there were words printed on such as cat, mat, bat etc. When the other started moving the triangle across you would not move your eyes from the spring as soon as you could see what shape or letter was on the triangular shape you would tell the other what you saw. This is what I call the literal translation of "out of the corner of your eye." Next we went to a few more stations until we got to a station were you would wait for the count down of ten. You would pose in front of a wall then there would be a flash radiation. Then after the flash your shadow would be pasted on the wall! After trying this a few times we went in a room centered on the science of light separation. There would be a machine that separated colors and when you stood in front of it you would have a separated color shadow. Then we went to a bubble box where you could take bubbles out inside a ring. Then we used the technology of pulleys to lift up our own weight. This had been a fun exciting day but most of all it was a day I would not soon forget.
