Our Local Science Museum...

We had a lovely day at our local science museum.  I wanted to get there before the Curious George exhibit left town in a few weeks.  The kids had a great time as always.  It was even better because no one was there.  I think I saw two other families the whole morning.  It is not a very big museum, but they do a really nice job with their exhibits and one of the halls changes every few months.  Also, we got in for free because I bought the membership at a museum in Nashville that belonged to the Association of Science-Technology Centers program.  We have two museums and the local nature center in our area that belong to this association.  There are 250 museums across the country that you can get into free with this membership.  I highly recommend it if you love science museums.  Both of our local science museums have homeschool classes, too.  I really have to try them out.








Little Red Ridinghood loved the contraption that you cranked the balls up and then built a tube for them to come down through.  Yes, those are giant teeth in the background.   The girls had a great time flossing them.








Of course, the boys had a blast building air-propelled ball shooters.  They had a very long ball war.


Finally, we got to the Curious George exhibit. 





The kids learned all about wind and building.  I had fun reading about the history of Curious George.  What a great day!
