Science Centre

On Saturday, we went with some other homeschooling families to the Ontario Science Centre. There was an interesting presentation in the morning, with many neat experiments! Afterwards we explored & learned & tried things out & explained countless things...
information overload, I think! But we all enjoyed the day,
despite getting rather tired towards the end of the afternoon. :)

Here's Maria making paper the old-fashioned way.

Lifting weights with pulleys...

Our favourite part, maybe (at least it was for me) -- Ocean life!
Look at this HUGE skeleton of a finwhale, found in Nova Scotia!

We loved watching these beautiful starfish move around,
using the tiny tube feet that God designed them with!

Other things the kids enjoyed -- "Kidspark Hall" (so many fun things to try there!); walking through the humid tropical rain forest; rock climbing(!); going through a dark scary cave; learning about our body's joints, bones, & organs; touching all the different rocks & minerals at "The Rockshop," where some friendly people answered all our Q's; trying out different water pump systems; watching balls(!); trying to identify various trees by their leaves; seeing the huge stump of a 464-year-old giant tree... well, I can't remember the rest, but make sure you go there someday to experience it all, yourself!!
