Liberty Science Center

Today is a special day. Because of our membership in our local Science Center, we get to have a "courtesy" visit to the Liberty Science Center for free today!

It is a very well-done Science Center with a lot of hands on play and also information. The kids had a really good time!


The Honey Bee Exhibit




There are 6 stations at the outdoor "playground" and even though they are fairly simple, I think the concept is interesting.

The TapeScape got quite a few points from our kids. It looked like a giant structure of saran wrap but they had so much fun.

They have a section JUST for the littles. Very cute. This rice tray is already a BIG hit.
The balls structure is very captivating.


Block Party is a very fun space! These soft blocks make fun design.



There was a space exhibit which made a WONDERFUL introduction to our Science class next year.

This is a fun game to play!


Our kids LOVED the infinity climber.




LOOK OUT! Hubby didn't dare to walk on these. The kids went up 18 feet and braved it out!
This section was teaching about skyscrapers.

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!
