Montshire Museum Fieldtrip By: Rus

     Hi. I am Rus. We went to the Montshire museum with our cousin Elim a little while ago.The Montshire museum was in Vermont...so it was a really long drive. There are four things that I liked the most at the museum.
 
    1. There was something new at the Montshire museum. There was a room [exhibit] on light. It is amazing that all the light around us is actually made up of all the colors of the rainbow! If you see light through a prism then the light will make all the colors of the rainbow. There was another thing in the new room that I loved. It was lasers. There were thing that the light bounced off of  to make a mini light show! And there was even a place were you could make colored shadows!

    2. The next thing I loved was the observatory! You had to go up a lot of stairs. There was the first floor. The first floor had the most stuff. The the second floor was a little smaller. Then there was the third floor. It was nothing but a balcony.The fourth floor was the same as the third. You would have to go up a couple more fliest of stairs to get to the observatory. The observatory was open and very high off the ground. You could see for miles. There was even an overpass that you could see very close up to with binoculars. You cold even see the mountains.

   3. Another thing  was an activity were you had to make arches that were free standing with no glue or tape. There was an arch were were blocks had to be stacked on one standing block. There was 1 then 2 blocks on top of that then 3,3,2,1. Then we had to make bridges and towers with no tape for the bridge! The tower we had 12 inches of tape. After that we did one more arch that stood with no tape or glue.
 
   My three favorite things at the Montshire museum were these. This was one of the best field trips yet!          

Montshire Museum 2015

Recently Mom, Leo, Rus, Tert, Filia, Elim and I went to the Montshire Museum of Science in Vermont. We had a great day and were also able to meet up with some friends. Thanks to Elim for coming with us and to Grandma for babysitting Lux. :)

 One of our family's favorite exhibits is the air exhibit.

 Filia insisted on a picture with the skeleton.

 The above picture shows what a frog's vision looks like

Leo and Elim loved the puzzles. Elim worked on this one for a long time and was very proud when she solved it. :)

 Tert, Filia, and Rus had programs in the afternoon. We weren't able to get any pictures of Rus' program, but Mom got some of Tert and Filia's. They did experiments with lots of colors.
