Fizz, Boom, Read!

The library had it's summer reading kick off and the theme is Fizz, Boom, Read!  So for a couple of hours in the morning time they had all these different science experiments set up all around the downstairs and the kids went crazy for it!  :)  If they were a little older I think that they could've gotten through them faster, but they definitely had a lot of fun doing what they could.  :)  Again, this library is awesome.

The crazy kids in the O's of the Boom!

This one is a subwoofer and put the ooblick on it and when it turns on it dances!

Dude thought it was cool

Norah got to feel the ooblick afterwards

Digital microscopes 

Picking out what slide they wanted to look at 

Showing them how to use a stethoscope 

They each got to listen to each other's heart and then we jumped around to see how fast our hearts went. 

At resting they were both at 90 and then after jumping around Dude was at 140 and Goose was 160

Decorating his mobius strips

Experimenting with balance points and fulcrums

Steve (we call him guy librarian) was showing Dude what to do

Making their slides to look under a reg telescope

Remember the coffee filter and water color markers?!

Dude loved using the little dropper

Goose doing hers

She just wanted to soak her entire thing

She was pretty good at it though

Their water table outside

Dude pretending he has some ice cream

Lucy wanted me to wear these 'earrings' that they decorated their mobius strips with... those things stayed on for a week!
