NEMO Science Museum

     The grandkids, their mom and I spent three wonderful hours here at the NEMO Science Museum. It is all hands-on.  There are exhibits and activities for all aspects of science.  The offerings appeal to children of all ages from the youngest to us oldsters who are just as fascinated by science and the youngsters.  K spent time in the chemistry lab deciding which powder matched the sample.  She had to dress the part and follow a strict protocol to make her discovery.

The most fascinating part of the museum, the part the kids came back to, was the water feature.  The kids could build dikes from blocks of special rubber and see how well their techniques worked at controlling the water levels in the system.  They spent a lot of time here, building and rebuilding their dikes.

Luckily for us, the exhibits were in Dutch and English.  So we had no trouble understanding any of the activities.
