Year Three - Day Thirty-Nine

Sam's View

Today we went to the science museum of Minneapolis and it was FUN! They had a mini tornado machine and another machine that showed how much drag a wing had and how much drag a car had it was really cool. They even had a boat driving simulator. That was a lot of fun.

Summer's View

Our first day in Minneapolis, we went to the Science Museum of Minnesota, free admission with our MOSI pass!  They had some cool displays, and lots to do, with plenty of hands-on experiences. It was located right on the Mississippi River, with some cool views of the river and a lot of its bridges.

Sam had a blast trying his hand at such things as piloting a tugboat, weighing some "fish," and closing a t-rex's jaws.  That's not something you get to do every day!






They had some awesome fossils, and a good exhibition of dinosaurs on display. 



One of the most interesting and original items I saw was a huge xylophone that was linked to a seismograph which recorded earthquakes all over the world.  As an earthquake happened, the xylophone played music that was related to the area where the quake happened.
