Physics for the pre-school set!!

Recently we visited the Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia with some of our adoption friends. Since my camera is in the shop, we took our point and shoot along, hoping for the best. It didn't go well, picture wise...the batteries died after only a few shots...but since I liked these two I thought I would post them.

The first area we visited was a miniature water park...truly a child's dream come true. You can't see it in the picture, but Lia had a little toy boat. She and Jim were using air currents to float the boat to each other. After awhile, Lia really got the hang of it and did a great job of aiming her air in the right direction to make the boat move where she wanted it to go!! A little science wrapped in a lot of fun...nice!!!



This was a pretend pond. Lia could make sounds by jumping from lily pad to lily pad...but I think her favorite part was the stuffed duck, complete with plastic eggs, keeping watch from the side of the pond!
