Magnifying

This exhibit had feathers, snake skin, bean pods, and other items found in the rain forest available for kids to magnify.  Austin loved looking at these things with the magnifying glass.  We spent a good five minutes in this same, humid spot!

Mist and a Monkey

Austin loved playing in the mist that was falling from above...I was freaked out about the monkey hanging on the door handles in front of him!  Eventually, the monkey raced around us and we raced into the building. 

Jaws

Penguins

Lego Camp

This is the egg beater that Austin made in Lego Camp.  I think this one really focused on gears and axles.  He was really proud of himself--he picked this machine to make on his own.  



This is the last day of Lego Camp--He made a robot as a culmination project of simple machines.  It included gears, axles, levers and a pulley. 

This was a great camp...I was impressed with the Lego Company for creating this for kids.  

Science Experiment

Austin played with this pan of baking soda and bowls of colored vinegar for about 30 minutes.  He loved to watch bubbles erupt when he dropped vinegar into the dish.
