NY Science Museum

After Sophia got her hair cut this weekend we went to the NY Science Museum in Queens. They had a couple of rocket ships outside.

First we stopped in the cafeteria to refuel.


Sophia was a silly girl.

After lunch we headed through the exhibits. You loved the smoke tornado they had there.  This was the big hit though. Big rings you could dip into a soapy solution and make huge bubbles.  Too hard for you to do it but fun to watch.

They had a funny hallway filled with distorted mirrors.

This room took a video of whoever was in the room and made a delayed motion video of the people and colorized it. That's Sophia and me.

Daddy did a levitating magic trick.

You checked out the polarizers.  Ice, you found out, polarizes light.

And you found out how many molecules are in your body (answer: a lot!)

Both of you had a great time playing with a lot of mazes and nerf balls that shot through them with compressed air.

Bernoulii's Principle.

You have always been fascinated with vacuum cleaners.

There was also a little play area that we hung out in for a while.
Overall we were pretty impressed. We'll have to keep coming back here so you can learn more.
