Nanotechnology

Today we went to the California Science Center for their exhibit on nanotechnology. Jacob learned about ferrofluid, thin films and static electricity. He impressed the students with his knowledge of science. I am glad that those Mad Science classes are paying off.

When I asked Jacob what he liked best about his day at the museum he said the Ecosystems. Oh well so much for nanotechnology. We look forward to seeing the Space Shuttle Endeavour when it makes its permanent home at the California Science Center.

Egypt

Jacob loved his first week of science camp which was called Mystery of the Pharaoh's Treasure. Our house has been all things Egypt this week and I have tons of stuff to prove it. I decided to take Jacob to the new exhibit at the California Science Center on Mummies. I figured a good way to end a week learning about Egypt (good mommy) but didn't think Jacob would be "freaked out" by the mummies (bad mommy). Should be an interesting week of sleep.

Yes, there was a line but it was well worth the wait at least for me.
This was from the Lost in Egypt free exhibit also at the California Science Center. No freaking out here.
