Exploring Fernbank Museum

This week we had an awesome time exploring Fernbank Museum! We saw the IMAX movie, Mysteries of the Unseen World, and we went to the exhibit, Brain: The Inside Story.

Check out some of the highlights!

   My favorite thing at Fernbank was the tracing where you had to trace over a star, without looking at your hands. You had to look through a mirror at what you were doing. It was hard for a lot of people to do. It was telling you to try not to look at the shape. It was really hard to not go outside the lines. While you look at the mirror and trace the whole star. I kept going outside the lines, but then I tried it again and I didn’t go outside the lines. Then I tried out the triangle that one easier that the star because you didn’t hove to go around lines.

   Yesterday we went to Fernbank and it was very fun. My favorite part was the brain exhibit because I saw a model real brain. It was cool to see the real brain because I can’t see mine, but it would be cool if I could. I learned that parts of the brain do different things with your body.

   We went to Fernbank yesterday with my class. My favorite exhibit or activity at Fernbank was doing the bubbles. You dip a metal ring into bubble mix and then slowly pull it out. The big bubbles were fun because you could back away and a big bubble would appear. But the little bubble would pop really easy. I also liked the disappearing candy. This is where you stick you hand in the box and try to get the candy but you can’t because it just a reflection of the candy.

   My favorite activity at Fernbank was looking at an optical illusion. It was a box with a little opening to see inside of it. You could see a spring holding a peppermint candy. I tried to reach through to grab the candy, but my hand went through it. There was a mirror inside that reflected the candy and the spring.

   My favorite activity at Fernbank was the gift shop. (Everything else was too gross.) It was my favorite because it had a lot of cool stuff and toys like The Tar Pits toy. It came with two different dinosaurs and goo that looked like tar. I liked to look at everything and wondered what I should buy. I decided to buy some goo and got Emma a cool coin. That was one good gift shop.

   My summer class went to Fernbank. My favorite exhibit was a new one at Ferbank. It was all about the brain. One of the activites that it had was this projection of this person who showed different expression on their face. My brain was able to tell the emotions they were having.

   My summer class took a trip to Fernbank and we saw multiple cool exhibits. My favorite thing that we saw was the movie, “Mysteries of the Unseen World.” I liked the movie because they have a microscope that can see atoms. That’s something that’s really cool because they’re moving atoms.

My favorite exhibit at Fernbank was the electric ball. It’s a round ball that has blue bolts of electricity inside of it. When you touch it, the electricity goes towards your hand. It made my hands warm when I touched it. There was a little kid with light up shoes, and every time he touched it his shoes would light up.
