Day 5

Sunday we woke up. Then we went to a science museum called COSI (center of science and industry). We went in. Then I walked in the main lobby. We played around a little while. I found a harp that didn't have strings. It was amassing because the harp strings were lazier. If you broke the circuit than it would play a note. So by waving your hands in front of the laser in a certain order you could make music. It was fun. There was also a pendulum that works like a clock (you will hear about a weird coincidence about pendulums later). Every 15 minuets a ball would be knocked off by the pendulum. Then we were checked in so we could go to other parts. Then we went to the space exhibit it was fun. But I didn't learn anything because 2 years ago I went to space camp. Then we went to science a la cart and learned about bouncing metal. Then we went outside and went to the echo well. Then we used pulleys to lift a car and used air pressure to launch balls. Then we went to the ocean exhibit. There are 2 pathways in the ocean exhibit and all of us took the path on the right. After I was done there I thought "what does the other path go to?" So I took a little look see and found a whole other exhibit! It was fun. Then we went to a weather show. It was a lot of fun. They talked about how air is heavy. We had fun. Then we went upstairs (its a 3 story building). And looked at a exhibit on the human body. In the exhibit we found a organ (musical instrument not inside body) that's keys played pooting sounds. So of course being immature Trevor played Mary had a little lamb on the poot organ. Then we went to the progress exhibit and learned about progress. Then we went to an exhibit on Egypt where I learned about a mummy called Abby. Then we went back to the hotel. We swam a little. Then went to bed.
