Discovery Center Montessori Field Trip January

This month's field trip was to the Discovery Center.  I had never been there.  So it was good to go see what it is all about.  They always gather together at the beginning of their field trips to sing their hello song.  This is them all singing.

 Rachel being the most animated of the group during the song.

 1st thing she did was this balance beam.  We didn't last long here.

 This was definitely the favorite thing to do here at the discovery center for her.  We did this several times and she wasn't happy if she had to wait for someone else to have a turn.

Look how high I can go all by myself.

 One of the scientists did a science show for us.  It was lots of fun.  Rachel listened pretty intensely for her. We are learning about liquid nitrogen and how it reacts in different situations.

 She put 10 blown up balloons into this cooler of liquid nitrogen. Yes all 10 went into this cooler

 They came out looking like this.  After they warmed up out of the cooler they filled back up to the regular size.  The molecules go back to their normal size.

This was fun for me mostly.  We made this arch out of blocks and it actually stood up by itself.  It was awesome and everyone left it up the whole time we were there.  As you can see in the back there were lots and lots of different experiments we were able to do.  We stayed for about two hours and then Rachel and I went out for lunch.  It's kind of a tradition now that whenever there is a field trip we go to lunch.
