We went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia yesterday. What a fun and busy day! We got to be part of both a Liquid Air show and the Science of Combustion show, and then we got to explore all over the museum.
Here are some bits and pieces of our day! We were moving around so fast that I didn't take quite as many pictures as I usually do! A few of these are borrowed from another teacher. :-)
Exploring the Air Force plane
I try to encourage working together as a team! Here they are trying to pump up a balloon as much as they can before the timer runs out. (They still have some work to do :-))
They are turning a train wheel and then hitting the brakes to see how quickly it makes the wheel stop!
One of the first things we did was walk through the Giant Heart - twice! This display has been around for a long time (I walked through it when I was in elementary school!) and is always the thing that kids remember the most about the Franklin Institute!
One of the newest areas is the Sports Zone room. The boys loved racing against the Philly Phanatic and trying out some surfing techniques - among other things!
Faith and I were buddies all day :-)
Group picture to conclude our fun field trip!
