Had our first trip to the Swiss Science Center for kids today, called Technorama. It's three floors full of interactive exhibits covering mechanics, magnetism, chemistry, light, the natural world, etc. and although it was all pretty interesting stuff, it was unfortunately a case of too much to take in with too many kids running a riot and we left with our heads spinning. A few of our favourite exhibits are below, including a very pretty installation of dry ice entering water (representing comets entering the earth's atmosphere as they burn up carbon dioxide and produces energy); a replica tornado, and a giant Newton's Cradle (metal swinging ball bearings).
