Wind, Water, and Air.



Saturday we went to a science museum.  We really enjoyed learning about Catch the Wind. There are so many different ways you can used wind.  We had a lot of fun learning about how wind can affect things


We thought he would like to jump on this  They strap you in a harness and let you jump and flip for a few minutes.  He jumped a few times and then decided he didn't like it  


This is a steam machine  You push a handle and steam comes out.  He stood there pulling and pushing the handle for several minutes watching the steam come out.  Right next to this are some drums than you can pound on and it pushes air to a metal coin like wall.   


Here we learned about currents and water.  We had sail boats going across this water feature.  It was interesting to see which way it was going to go.  We spent so much time here. They had the small sail boats and larger ones too.  The larger boats you could steer but they kept getting stuck.  Apparently, I am not very good at steering these or we could blame it on the wind.  


Here we had lots of water spraying on us.  There were lots of different things to run through and get wet on a hot day.  What a fun way to learn about science.
