Have you ever went to a science center where you could do experiments yourself and discover how things work? Well I have when I went to the Maryland Science Center where most things in there were hands on. I got to do many things, I visited the first floor, the second floor and the third floor. Each of them was filled with different things.
First my group went to the second floor. We were on the floor that taught you about the human body. We discovered that our nose is a big part of the taste. That's why food doesn't taste that good when your nose is clogged up. Also we figured out that music effects your mood the most. If you were watching a scary movie without music it wouldn't be that scary. Then we were called in for a science lab experiment. Following the directions some staff gave us we were able to decode tar-tar, laundry detergent and two other powders form each other using liquids.
Then we trudged up to the 3rd floor where most of the things were fun. There was this activity where you have to peddle to power light bulbs. There were three bulbs, LED, Florescent and another bulb. The LED was the easiest to power, Florescent was a little harder and the last bulb was the hardest to power because it wasted to much energy. Then we learned about the two animals in the Chesapeake Bay. One was the Terrapin turtle and the other was a blue crab. It is really hard for blue crabs to not die, many crabs die when they are young.
After all that we rushed to the ground floor and outside to see an explosion. Some staff set up soda and some mint in a can. Soon the can flew up into the air and exploded. I took my camera and caught the whole thing. Then we went inside to solve riddles. We were stumped by many of the riddles so we went to look at dinosaurs. We got to pretend to be archaeologists by using a brush to brush sand away from bones to see what they are. Soon we had to go. I definitely learned a lot of things today!
