Museum of Science and Industry

We went to the Museum of Science and Industry on August 31st. We started off in the The Idea Factory, an area that has many learn-through-play activities and craft stations. The kids were asked to be the guinea pigs for a new craft project on sound. They had fun making shakers from paper plates and dried beans. The Henry Crown Space Center is under construction right now, which disappointed the kids, but we still were able to see the Apollo 8 Command Module, which actually orbited the moon and back, with people in it! It is crazy to look at this tin can that went on such a journey.
