electricity is life

alex and i went to the bakken museum
on a field trip today




i love this field trip
because of the hands on experiments with electricity and magnetism

alex tried mindball
which measures your brain waves and rewards the person who is most relaxed
alex lost instantly ;)



i figured it was in the genes
i feel like my brain is constantly going
and if i tried i would lose just as alex did


WELL ... my brain waves showed differently
and I was the CLEAR winner against one of our paras -


not sure if i should be proud or worried ;)

the kids spent time generating electricity and moving it around a town


they learned the story of frankenstein



we spent a little time in my favorite room -
the previous owner was afraid someone would steal him
so every room had to have 7 exits.
the details in every inch of the rooms are incredible!



our group learned about static electricity








we learned about earl bakken
the founder of medtronic


we had a short lunch break


and then spent our last hour learning about magnetism




thanks for letting me come with you, alex!
i had a really fun day!
