Franklin institute

 We went to the Franklin institute yesterday. My dad and grandpop P. went on the sky ride at the Franklin institute. I loved going to the Franklin institute. Some prizes I got are a crushed coin, a green super bouncy ball and a Miny Ben  Franklin snow globe. my favorite exhibit was the inside the heart exhibit and my favorite thing playing in the big heart maze. Another favorite thing of mine was the laser light show at the beginning. the reason we went was because I have a Dr. app. today so I can’t goto my class field trip today. 

we went to the planetarium show which is all about the night time sky.  I learned that there are 84 constellations in the sky and we can see half of them from earth.  It is amazing to think that there are billions of other galaxies beyond the Milky Way.  Another thing we learned is that we can see other planets in the sky, but they just look like bright stars.  It was also cool to learn that there is frozen ice on one of the moons of Jupiter.  This means that there may be life on this moon.  While we were waiting to get into the plabetarium we went to the steam engine exhibit and we got to go in a real steam engine.  I learned all about how the steam works with the pistons to run the train.  The train used to be royal colors but it looked dirty because of the coal so they painted it black.  The Franklin Institute bought this train for only 1$ and then hooked it up to electricity for the display.

We were on our way out when we stumbled upon a laser and phaser show.  It was cool, they taught us about to how to make a phaser.  We did not have enough time to see the Imax show or the Start Trek exipition, maybe next time.
