Museum Time: the Denver Museum of Nature and Science
I'm doing a vein thingy! This is an exhibit where you stand in front of a screen and you can see your veins. When you move, it moves.
See how I am waving at the screen? That's why it is waving back at me. My favorite part was the bike race on a stationary bike. It takes your pulse.
I'm putting on gloves for the lab. My hands are purple!
This is CJ, my brother. We're checking our cheek cells.
First, we dropped water onto a microscope slide.
Next, we took at toothpick and we rubbed it in our cheek.
Then, we rubbed it in the water on the slide.
Then we dried the slide with a machine.
We stain on the slide. We let it drip off, and then we poured the water on the slide.
Then we put it on a towel so we could dry it, and then we looked at the cells under the microscope. They looked like dots. We saw the cell membrane and the nucleus. Next time, I want to look at my nose cells.
We were watching the clock to see how long it took for the machine thing to dry the slides. We had to wait one minute after we put the stain on.
I'm standing in front of crystals. I would never want to go into a cave to hunt crystals.
If I were mining with a bunch of other miners, it would be better.
Lily's standing in front of a hedgehog crystal. I called it the hedgehog crystal.
At the museum, we also saw dinosaurs on a screen and a rhinoceros peed on CJ. And we saw a cool mummy. I got a dinosaur tooth magnet at the gift shop. I want to go back next week.
