So much for perfect California weather....it's been rainy and cold. So we spent the day at the San Francisco Exploratorium. It was probably one of the best science museums I have ever been to. It was two massive stories of hundreds of hands-on exhibits (650 of them to be exact-I looked it up!). We had done the tech museum about 2 months ago but each exhibit was so detailed that it was way over Bella's head. The Exploratorium, however, was perfect. There were wheels to turn, bubbles to blow, lights to turn on and off, blocks to build, etc. What a fun, educational day. And a perfect way to stay dry!
Playing with "magnetic" sand
Watching patterns of sand spinning on a wheel
Learning how objects interfere with a spinning rope
Playing in a vortex of fog
Bubble head!
Making music
The Exploratorium is located next to a peaceful little pond and an amazing architectural building known as the Palace of Fine Arts. As we were leaving there was a break in the rain and we were able to walk around.
