Science fun

Yesterday was the inaugural Physics and Astronomy Day at our children's science center (Brian's pet project).  It was so much fun.  While daddy had to work the whole day, mommy and the girls spent 6 1/2 hours exploring the fun stuff:

The museum has a new oral health room (not part of Physics day), but it was fun to see the girls with oversized dentist tools.  Here is Sarah brushing and Emma flossing:

 And Sarah checking the teeth with the mirror:

 Here they are checking out meals to see how good they are for their teeth:

During the day, the MSU Science group ran shows for the kids.  Here was Emma trying to figure out how to do the wave:

One of the kids favorite parts was learning about sound waves to Frozen's "Let it Go."  We had to see the same show twice just to see it again:


Learning about static electricity.  The girls thought it was hysterical for their hair to stand up:


 Trying to get aluminum foil boats to float when filled with rocks:


 And another favorite, learning about the phases of the moon using oreo cookies:

Sarah spent the most time in the crater table, playing with kinetic sand:

But the girls absolute favorite was the balloon rockets:
