We spent the afternoon at a local college. Every year during February vacation (for public school kids) they host a "Hands-On Science Fair." The first time we went was last year. This year I only had my three boys with me but we did meet up with my sister and nephew there. I think the boys had a good time. Here are some photos from the day...
The boys showing off their flubber aka slime.
A close up of the flubber. Mom didn't read the directions carefully so we dumped all of our "gar gum" right in without doing it slowly & stirring a lot. We all had clumps. It still gelled up really well though.
This was in the "physics" room. The tube Conductor is holding made sounds like thunder when you shook it & then let the coil hanging out of the bottom touch the ground. Very cool, but very loud. That's my nephew watching him.
Conductor - the architect. He built a plane/rocket ship out of cardboard and paper.
Testing it's flight. The gentleman in the photo was an engineer helping the kids build things.
Happy sporting a hard hat in the building room.
Checking out the touch tank. Happy & Conductor touched things this year.
We skipped the shark presentation as I wasn't sure we could sit through it again. We were only there for about 1-1/2 hours but it seemed about right. The boys got to try pretty much everything and seemed content with what we accomplished. After all - they each left with a cup of slime. Does it really get much better than that for boys?
