We finally made it to the highly anticipated Science Exploratorium. I have wanted to take Abe for some time, but they are only open to the public for 3 hours on Sunday afternoons. We even tried to go once with much confusion over the published winter break dates. Our school happens to be on a slightly different schedule than other Argentines schools. During the Winter Break (July 28-Aug 11), they opened daily.
Although the exhibits and building were not as impressive as you might have expected from a museum in the States, the staff really interacted with the kids to teach them concepts.
This was Abe's favorite exhibit. There had to be enough water in the upper tank to create pressure to pump it into the tank below, which spun a wheel creating energy to turn on the lights located on the side.
This is Abe's good friend who was braved the static machine. Abe lost interest after he touched it and was shocked. We're not sure that Abe even has enough hair. :)
The kids also loved the bubble maker. I mean, how often is it that you can stand inside of a huge bubble?
