Hill Country Science Mill

I'm so excited!! Today, two of my team members and I drove out to Johnson City where they have built a new science museum. It's called the Hill Country Science Mill.
It was amazing!!! We had so much fun! Here's a few pictures for you!

These are the two teammates that went with me. Mrs. Woodall is on the left and Mrs. Gilbert is on the right.

This was the coolest thing ever! It is a self-supporting eco-system that uses water from the Science Mill's cistern to drip into the environment thus cleaning the water and supporting the moss and the plants that live in the water. It all works together! I love things like this.

This is Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs. Woodall developing codes to move the longhorn's head, the rattlesnake's tail and the armadillo. We had so much fun! You should go and try it!

This display was in one of the old grain silos. It's designed to look like an aquifer and you watch rain "fall from the sky" along the streets into rivers and seeping into the ground. We spent a lot of time there because we hadn't seen rain in soooo long! It was quiet and peaceful.

There was so much to do at the Science Mill! We'd really like to take a field trip out there but we're afraid it might be just a tad too far. We're thinking about perhaps meeting families out there on a designated Saturday... We'll see after school starts. In the meantime, I wonder if my avatar still works!
