There is a room upstairs that has all sorts of activities. A girl told me all about the cockroaches they were keeping. She also told e a bunch of different facts about cockroaches. ]]> 2023-03-26 02:42:23 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2531559361 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2531560119 Another interaction I had was a child showed me how to use one of the devices. There was a big television where you could dig up fossils and then your dinosaur would come to life on another television. The children were always very excited to see their dinosaurs on the screen, moving around. ]]> 2023-03-26 02:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2531560119 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2531561903 There were several art activities that I saw. One activity had a bunch of stars on a screen. Then, using chalk, you would draw your constellation.

There was sand in it and using paintbrushes, the kids would "dig up" the fossil. Then, they could draw what they thought the dinosaur looked like based on the bones. ]]> 2023-03-26 02:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2531562062 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532153206 2023-03-27 00:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532153206 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532177930 There was a touch pool where children could touch certain animals. There was a guy in the middle that would tell you about the animals. The kids were very excited to touch these animals and hear all the facts about them. ]]> 2023-03-27 00:42:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532177930 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532179601 Towards the end, there was a room with a bunch of little tablets. On these tablets, you could color in your fish and then it would show up on a big screen. A little girl told me that mine was pretty and helped me find it on the big screen. They were very excited to see the fish that they made and other people made.]]> 2023-03-27 00:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532179601 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532180140 There was a touchscreen game that they could play that was about cleaning up the beach. Children would click and drag the trash off of the sand. It would also give them facts about the common types of trash that are found in the ocean.]]> 2023-03-27 00:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532180140 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532181124 There weren't too many art activities at the aquarium. There was a booklet that children could get. Then they would get to stamp their book. If they got all the stamps, there was a prize at the end. The station had a trivia question that could be found by looking at the facts on the walls. ]]> 2023-03-27 00:45:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532181124 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532181559 The children that I saw were very excited when they saw all the sea life. There were tunnels you could go into and the animals would be all around you. You could see them all and it was enjoyable to watch the kids get excited when a shark swam over their head. ]]> 2023-03-27 00:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532181559 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532184398 2023-03-27 00:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532184398 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532210994 There were plenty of activities that were integrating arts at Science City. My favorite one was a sand table where you could move the sand. It would show the elevation of the land at sea level. If your hand covered the water, it would make it rain and show how the land changes over time. ]]> 2023-03-27 01:11:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532210994 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532211488 There was a bike that if you used it, it would make light bulbs turn on. There was a boy that I watched that used it till his legs hurt because he wanted to see how long he could turn on the lights. ]]> 2023-03-27 01:11:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532211488 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532211992 There was a whole section about art and optical illusions. There was one where kids could create their own and look at other people's creations. ]]> 2023-03-27 01:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532211992 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532212486 There was a hamster wheel that you could go in that demonstrated potential and kinetic energy. There was a little girl that was able to walk up the wall because she had run so fast.]]> 2023-03-27 01:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532212486 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532212967 There were several activities that had to do with the sense. One was you could smell different scents and you had to guess what they were. There was another one where you could feel hot, cold, and both rods with your hand. ]]> 2023-03-27 01:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532212967 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532216828 My favorite art experience was Science City. There were tons of things to do and even more that were not open yet. They were working on a section where you build robots. There are weekly crafts and there are even classes that are taught there. It was also only $16 per person which is a great price considering how much stuff there is to do. It makes science really interesting and I remember going there with my class when I was in 5th grade.]]> 2023-03-27 01:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532216828 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532219786 I took away several things. Kids are way more into things when they can make it themselves. They also like it more when they can see it and are a part of it, instead of just reading or watching a video about it. Kids really enjoy hands-on things and I think that it is important to have those kinds of activities in the classroom.]]> 2023-03-27 01:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532219786 kmulcahy10 https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532223689 I can apply what I saw by including hands-on activities in my lesson. Kids are much more interested when they can participate in making things happen. Instead of just reading about things in science, I could come up with an activity, so they can create what they are learning about. It also gives students the chance to be creative and do things differently, so they all don't have to be doing the same thing.]]> 2023-03-27 01:21:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kmulcahy10/kmh2wm3or9gq8gmx/wish/2532223689
