The day after Independence Day - Arizona Science Museum

July 5, 2011
Arizona Science Museum

Papa Hardy took the kids and I to the Arizona Science Museum on Tuesday, July 5. 

The telescope was pretty cool, up above there was a big screen and it showed your eye as you looked through the telescope.

We went there the Mazes exhibit.  Where we learned all about optical illusions.  The kids, especially Sarah, enjoyed the funny mirrors.

They had to find their way out of a rope maze.

Tommy building his maze.

Sammy generated enough electricity to power two light bulbs.

Sarah learned all about different types of energy by calling different super heroes.

Austin, Sarah, and Sammy sitting on a replica of a day's worth of manure from one cow.  MOST INTERESTED THING I LEARNED:  Did you know that one cow can produce enough manure in one day to generate three kilowatt hours of electricity; it only takes 2.4 kilowatt hours of electricity to power a single 100-watt light bulb for one day.

Tug of war - Sarah, Austin, Sammy, and Papa against...

We had a fun day at the Arizona Science Center.  

Thank you, Papa!
