Bio- Experimentarium

On March 11th, our class  went to the new experimentarium for our step on tuning in. Our new unit is changes, so we went to the experimentarium to collect background information on the body and its systems. I wish we could've gone again!

At the experimentarium, we saw many things including: a bed of nails, illusion room, a dark room full of odd materials, a man's fake intestines, and much more. One of the main attractions of the interactive museum was called the '5 senses area'. It was a whole section of the building devoted to teaching people about your five senses and how they help you, and what the do (Also known as the function of your sense). The illusion room was where you could explore your sense of sight and you get to see how sometimes your eyes will think they're seeing something moving, but all it is, is an illusion. The dark room of ood materials was used for people to explore their sense of touch/feel. You were trying to guess what you were feeling, without using your sense of sight/vision. We also learned that your sense of touch/feel is the one sense that gives you most information on what an object is.

One of the main attitudes that I worked on was curiosity. Being curious about something can lead to exploration, learning and even creating something new! I would always try to make connections from different parts of the museum and also I was also coming up with questions and wonderings about each attraction so I could expand my knowledge about the human body.
