Science Museum of Virginia

We try to get to the Science Museum of Virginia  as often as we can. Aaron, my husband, has never been there. He decided to join us on our trip to the museum.

When we went, they had a special exhibit on dinosaurs called, Be the Dinosaur. Everyone loves dinosaurs. It was a great hands on exhibit.

She (and Aaron) really liked the Be the Dinosaur interactive game. She especially liked when you had to have the dinosaur eat and then poop. Poop is very funny when you are 6 years old.

Next, we went to her absolute favorite program in any science museum: Static Electricity. She loves going up on stage and watching her hair stick out.

Then, she explored the phases of the moon exhibit. Phases of the moon is something she's been interested in for a few months.

Building a Roman Arch from blocks...

Complete!

Then, together we all built a larger sized Roman Arch.

Lastly, we made paper planes and tried to get them to fly into the cloud.

Ready, aim, fire! 

What an fun, educational, and exhausting day we had! This was just a small sample of all the things we did. And we didn't have a chance to do each section.
