We visited Boonshoft's new exhibit called Eyes on Earth, which discussed satellite technology.
The Orbit Table was a big hit. We saw the difference between elliptical and circular orbit paths as the balls swirled around the vortex.
The girls put together a puzzle.
We got to play with different technologies used in satellites...
...playing with heat sensors, magnetism, and an ultrasound altimeter.
Then they tried their hand at getting a satellite working.
And we learned about the importance of pixelation size in picture quality.
It is a very informative and fun exhibit.
The exhibit will be at the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery until January 6th.
