Riding the T to the museum.
The "Audio-Kinetic" sculpture was a favorite, as always. (It's one of Albin's favorite things.)
Digital Fishtank...fiddle the schooling habits of fish (and children)
Some great computer-type exhibits. For this one, you assembled wooden blocks into your program...then a camera did pattern recognition on the image, and figured out how your blocks were connected, compiled the program, and then made the robot go.
Electricity demonstrations. Albin in control of the plasma...
And now the plasma has gotten the better of him!
Life Science section (in the Green wing, that we'd never visited before) had some very interesting experiments about vision - turns out that Albin and I are both right-eyed. Who knew?
Picture of Brains for Peter. Note that the cockroach brain is very, very small.
Saw the Science of Risk in IMAX. The science part was the physical response to fear...adrenaline, the natural response if you're in a dangerous situation. Turns out that people who have a lower than average number of Serotonin receptors in their brain take more risks. So then they had to follow people skydiving...lots and lots of skydiving...and base jumping (where they jump off a 4000 ft cliff in Norway).
On the way out, had to show that ol' T Rex who was the boss.
Took a movie of the Theater of Electricity show.
