The Science Mommy and her family were recently in Seattle and had a chance to visit the Boeing Museum of Flight. You know how important curiousity is to the Science Mommy and visiting a great museum can certainly inspire scientific curiosity.
One of our first stops was the flight simulator. This is one of the best simulators I have ever ridden, it was absolutely responsive. Connar took the pilots seat and we enjoyed barrel rolls, somersaults and other flight patterns. Flying the simulator required the use of two controls simultaneously and while not a real flight, Connar definitely learned something about the complexity of flying an airplane.
There were several opportunities to get into cockpits and explore the instruments. Aiden was full of questions about how things worked.
The Science Mommy loved the displays. Connar and I spent a long time looking at this one to understand how flight evolved in the animal kingdom.
Musuems are excellent places to explore new ideas, ask questions and feed Kid Science curiousity. Which great museums have you visited?
