OMSI!

Our class had so much fun at OMSI this week! Here are some pictures of our great day:

The Ball Room was very popular...



Darian made an air rocket blast off!


Ella is blasting off in her space ship!

Some people made structures that would survive an earthquake - then they got to push the earthquake button and see how the buildings did!


Paper airplanes...



Controlling robots:

These girls made a roller coaster for a ball to zoom down - like a real roller coaster!


These creatures are called axolotl. They are in the salamander family.

We saw HUGE walking sticks! Our walking sticks are about as long as one of these guys' antennae!

Great leafy camouflage!



Here's that fun ball room again!


We stopped by the chemistry lab:



These boys built an arch out of foam blocks, similar to the St. Louis arch. It was tricky!




Science is so much fun!
