There's a whole lot of SPOOKY SCIENCE going on at Discovery Science Center!
We went down this week to check it all out and we were amazed!
My little dragon and dinosaur loved all the pumpkins and spooky exhibits.
The Wizard of Ooze was a hit with all the little scientists!
We learned how to make slime, elephant toothpaste, and a color-changing concoction!
Then we got to make our own glow-in-the-dark slime and decorate pumpkins!
The Spooky Scavenger Hunt sent us exploring all around.
And there were some super spooky spider visitors to Discovery Science Center!
We put on 3D glasses and explored the Amazing 3D Maze full of fun facts and colors!
The maze led us into the newest exhibit at Discovery Science Center,
This exhibit was full of unbelievable but true exhibits.
We crawled through a replica of Titanoboa.
At 50 feet long and 3 feet in diameter, it is the largest snake every known!
Brass neck coils have been worn for centuries by women and girls of the Kayan people in Myanmar.
Kayan girls as young as five begin wearing the coils, beginning with about nine loops.
The length is gradually increased until women are wearing up to 32 loops!
These creepy shrunken heads were not to be missed!
Can you guess what this image of Albert Einsten is made from??
TOAST!
This calf was born with 2 faces, and only lived for a month.
You can see her unusual skeleton on display.
One of our favorite rooms was Jump Into Art, designed by artist/software designer Ed Tannenbaum.
It was so cool to watch our bodies paired with color, moving in slow motion!
We could have stayed in there for hours!
The Science of Ripley's Believe it or Not will be at Discovery Science Center until Jan. 5, 2014.
