New York Hall of Science

Our last field trip of the summer (from YMCA summer camp) was to the New York Hall of Science. It was leftover and built on the old 1964-5 World's Fair in New York City in Flushing Meadow Queens. We saw tons of great stuff, I wish I could show you everything, but here's a few pics of some of my favorite things. Maybe if I have time I'll show you more...Inside, we all got to play with molecules and make our own creations.
The whole class had fun putting pieces together.
My teacher Barbara is helping one of the boys get a better view of centrifugal force on metal balls rolling around and around and around....
The hall of mirrors...

More hall of mirrors, don't my friends look funny!
A very cool machine that made shadows of us in color
We heard the story of how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. First they Munch. Crunch. Munch. Crunch
This was the site of the 1964-65 New York Worlds Fair. My mom went here with her family when she was a little girl.
This is one of the first real rocket ships!
We built our own.These are my 2 best buddies from summer camp, Clyde and Angel. We hang out with Aya too (with blue headband)Boy we were tired on the way home!

Lego Batmobile!

For my birthday, I got a Lego Batmobile! It has 1045 pieces and is keeping me busy all summer. It's especially great for rainy days. My Dad helps me work on it and we do it together, teamwork!
There are ALOT of pieces. Just organizing them all is a lot of work. We started with the chassy of the car, and follow the instrusctions, section by section.

Daddy gives me a hand when I need it.
I am learning to follow written instructions and diagrams. It helps to have little hands, I'm very good at putting the tiny pieces together!

A lot of the parts move, the steering wheel goes up and down, and the gears turn things... I installed the flame throwing exhaust pipes that actually turn! They look super solid cool!
