Chicago Children Musem 11 -12 July 2011

The Museum was very interesting for children.
One of the most interesting was " Water ways". In this lab practice they can observe how is the water movement. Apply it to the physic principles or Archimedes, how a material floats and others no. Why is the water moving and how through a pipe with a bump ?  These questions can help them to understand not only the physic mechanism but also how it works.
The other one very interesting was about "Flying". They must build a boomerang with two, three or four sheets.
So they can try and find out which is the best model. How it can fly?  How long? Observing the movement in the air they can understand the concept related to the free fall of an object. They can also predict the velocity, related to the high and the weight.
