For F.H.E. we went to the Utah Museum of Natural History. They had a little class for kids to learn about physics. It was really fun. These two above taught it. They were so good with the kids and pretty funny. They guy totally reminded me of "Brain" from the old show "Pinky and the Brain."
Hunter liked it for a little while, but it was a little above his head.
He was so silly! They learned about Isaac Newton and gravity among other things.
McKay wasn't too impressed :)
The kids got to try some experiments.
It got a little long for Hunter and Lincoln, but Palmer was way into it. He loved every second of it.
We love the upstairs of this place. It has some of the neatest things. How neat would it be to cut open this rock and find these beautiful crystals in it?
I don't know how I have ever missed this. This little rock inside the clear sphere is an actual piece of the moon. Isn't that cool? Josh and I thought it was awesome. I don't think the kids could understand yet how rare this is.
This something that measures the friction in different places in Utah. It would be crazy to be here when an earthquake came!
You could make an earthquake with this little machine. You jumped on a spot on the floor and it would move it.
This is so cool!
I think the scientists that discover all of this stuff would have such a neat job (boring 90% of the time, but totally cool the other 10%)
This guy was a little freaky.
This was a dinosaur bone puzzle that was pretty intense.
But with the help of their smart Dad, the boys figured it out.
Palmer loved this telescope that showed you different organisms.
The bug part of the museum isn't my favorite. The boys are looking at some tarantulas...yuck.
This is one of my favorite parts. The puppet theater!
Hunter thought it was awesome.
And the other two boys liked it too.
The boys loved this little display. You push a button and one of the animals lights up. Then you can read what the plaques say about the animal.
A replica of an old mine shaft. Cool stuff.
