Monday we visited the Houston museum of
science. We learnt about how the earth’s centrifugal force can make a pendulum swing
back and forth constantly. We also learnt about the different type of gems and
rocks. We saw how they turned some gems into jewelry in the gem vault. We also
got to see how an astronaut prepares for space. But the best part of the
science museum was the planetarium that they had. The person who directed it
showed us all the star formations – Scorpio, Taurus, Cancer, Orion and others.
We also visited the theatre inside the museum
to see a video about the ice age. The video showed a dead wooly mammoth baby that
was found almost perfectly intact, under some snow and ice, in 2007. That was pretty
amazing, as there have not been wooly mammoths around for at least 40, 000 years. They named her baby Lyuba.
