Adventures in Science

In September we visited the Science Museum of London during an overnight layover.  As the kids and I sat eating lunch, a museum educator approached us.  She said that the museum was looking for kids to try out a new workshop and to be photographed for the museum's website.  Well, the workshop is being offered right now, and our photograph is on the advertisement for it!

Just yesterday we visited an even better science museum in Santiago Chile.  It's called Museo Interactivo Mirador (MIM).  http://www.mim.cl/prontus_mim/site/edic/base/port/inicio.html  It was filled with terrific hands-on experiments!  It reminded us of the science museums we have visited in Helsinki, Stockholm, and Bergen (Norway). 

Thank goodness for science museums when we learn on the road.  It's not easy gathering all the materials we need for experiments as we travel.  Plus it's difficult to do the experiments in a hotel room!
