When we arrived at the Science Centre, a large group of school children were hanging around the entrance. Our kids fit right in! ☺ | Checking out the section on optical illusions | A long walkway connects the main building with the IMAX theater | The theater is actually undergoing renovations, but in the interim they have exhibits such as this robot zoo. Here, Flynn attempts to aim his chameleon tongue at insect targets. | Guinness and Innaias check out the bat | A large chameleon has different parts that can be controlled, such as the body and head Innaias is working here |
Debra shows the kids who’s boss on the squid race | A vapor tank where small pieces of dry ice float, zipping around powered by their own melting, is lots of fun | The Robotics Learning Centre wasn’t open at the time we were there, but they still have lots of interesting items on display | Here, Flynn plays a tune using piezoelectrics responding to the force of his hands | There’s an extensive water play park outside at the Science Centre. I especially liked this demonstration of angular velocity and audio frequencies. | The kids explore |
This entertaining piece included water jets that could send light plastic balls from one section to another | The vortex cylinders were pretty cool too | Innaias gets the water to spray | Guinness and Flynn work the pump | The kids did start out dry, but of course that didn’t last long | Guinness doesn’t even seem to be trying to avoid the water |
