THE MONTHSIRE!

Friday was the Montshire Museum's Spring Homeschoolers Day. The theme was electricity. We took 4 workshops and they were all great. I would love if this happened once a month. Heck weekly would be great!

Workshop #4: More Circuits



In between workshops we explored the standing exhibits…


Ok, back to "work"… Workshop #3: Magnets



Science… Magic… I just don't know!
  We LOVE the bubbles!


Otis is always mesmerized by this...
We really enjoyed trying out the Windows On Earth Computer.
