Wednesday, May 12
Today, we went to the Great Lakes Science Center in downtown Cleveland located at 601 Erieside Ave. Once we arrived, we spent the morning touring the NASA Glenn visitor center and the BioMedTech Gallery. For anyone interested in space technology or travels the NASA center is for you! The BioMedTech Gallery was an eye opening presentation of recent developments in medical technology and engineering with a goal to improve public health. Throughout the morning we had been hearing constant chatter of the so called "indoor tornado", "shadow room", and "bridge of fire". So, we decided to check it out. We headed to the science phenomena floor. The indoor tornado simulated a raging cyclone which left us all windswept and speechless. The electricity in the bridge of fire left our hair standing while the shadow room froze our shadows to the wall... so weird!
Around 1 pm we took our seats in the OMNIMAX theater's showing of Sea Monsters which explored the prehistoric story of gigantic North American sea monsters. The final showing is May 28 so be sure to catch it soon. All in all, the day was a success! And we learned a thing or two about science.
