Science Centre is probably one of the most fascinating places in Singapore. I am full of awe everytime I visit that place. So I decided that I should also bring Le Xin to discover the wonders of Science at the Singapore Science Centre too.
All ready for the trip....This photo was taken at the MRT...
Water Work Exhibition
Robotic....Does this reminds you of Transformers?
My lovely darling girl....
Let's try some weight lifting....
With a little help from Daddy Scott
Argh...I pull....
Okay maybe Le Xin you should just sit on Daddy's shoulder...
Let's do some walking...
Balancing....
Optical illusion....
A curious Le Xin...
Turning.....
Observing...
Wow it's moving...
We need to carry Le Xin for most of the exhibits as she could not see them because of her height....
This was one of the coolest thing we tried out...Reminds me of neo print...
Mummy T2X as the cowboy!
MummyT2X as the pirate...
Le Xin as the ghost...
Le Xin's turn to be the pirate...
Le Xin as the cowboy...
She was mad happy to look at herself in the funny image...
The above image is the exact reason why I chose to go to the Science Centre....
She was totally amazed with each and every display she came across...
Impossible Ledge....
What seems impossible can always be explained through Science...
What are the two kids looking at? haha
Daddy Scott explaining to Le Xin how animation works with speed....
Facilitating...
We went through a dark place
and had to do some crawling....
and popping
to capture this....
The whole idea is about optical illusion again, trying to fool others that our heads were on the plate :p
Mega Bugs... We went for a talk about bugs and guess what Le Xin was really good....she was capable of sitting on her seat throughout the talk....Amazed with her attention span!
Stick insect! My favourite!
MummyT2X explaining to Le Xin about the different specimens.....
Ready for the talk...
Butterflies...
Creepy Bugs
Larva....(eww....reminds me of my ex-colleague Jihan who will freak out when she sees this)
Honey comb....
Listening attentively during the talk....Good listening baby!
The most beautiful creature.... Caterpillar!
Time to explore the sound exhibition....
First up....let's try to hear your own echo...
Spin and listen...
Learning about frequency....a Physics concept....
Talk into the mic please....
Ms Le Xin Dee Jay in the house!
Ever wonder how a piano works? At the Science Centre, you get to discover it!
Investigating how the piano works....
What happen when I turn it this way?
What happens when I try to turn it another way?
Time to explore Math....
Look who's up there on the carrom board.....
Estimation....
Le Xin trying to fill the hexagon with the pool balls...
MummyT2X trying to catch baby Le Xin on a sloppy platform...
Refining her motor skills...
As she drives...
Exploring numbers...
Wonder how this work?
Watch the video below...
Nothing beat engaging in an experiment....
Exploring how magnets work...
3D Shapes...
Learning how to create a cone....
Feeling the mist...
Wow....amazing!!
With a touch of button....
Something fascinating can happen....Look at that boy's expression hahaha
Going up the lift....Le Xin was holding on tightly to Daddy Scott, I guess she was kinda of afraid to go in initially,,,
Le Xin feeling quite apprehensive when she was in this special lift...
Taking a walk through this tunnel makes you feel like you are going to a special lab....
Yes, that the right attitude...Always have courage!
MummyT2X and Le Xin....
Le Xin...
Le Xin and Daddy Scott...
Gong Zhu Bao....Le Xin was feeling quite exhausted from all the walking and exploring....
Le Xin was sitting on an electrocuted chair....don't worry we didn't put a coin in....
Daddy Scott kept threatening me that he was going to put a coin in to have me electrocuted hmph!
Exploring shadows....
Next, we went on to see some live creatures...
Indian star tortoise....
Buggies...Cockroaches anyone love them?
Cute little hammy....
We used to have this at home too!
This exhibit - an incubator showing how life chicks were born is probably one of the memorable exhibit in the Science Centre....Seriously....it has been around for a long long time and everyone who visits the Science Centre will usually gather around and look at the cute little chicks....
Time to explore the Eco Garden
Looking at the pond....
Going up the treehouse....
Watch how Le Xin went up the treehouse in the video below :)
Exploring the pulley
Let's turn....
Going down the steps...
Time to leave the Science Centre....
Let's retrieve our items from the locker...
Ohh...did we miss out on the Water Play ?
Of course not!
Le Xin as always....was sooo intrigued to see how the water went up and down....
This is not something new to her but she still finds it thrilling each time she plays with it....
Balancing....
Scooping the water...
Nice!
Water dripping on you, Le Xin....
Going down....
Observing how other children were playing....
Kicking the water....
Even though I could smell the chlorine from afar, the smell of the water did not bother her a bit....
Splosh.....Splash
Climbing up....
Actually, when I was observing her, my heart was pumping very fast, I am so worried she might lose her balance and fall but I kept reminding myself that I had to let go and allowed her to explore on her own....It was not an easy decision....
Kicking King says k....k....k...
Alright that's end of our trip to the Science Centre.....
Mummy T2X enjoyed herself very much with Le Xin and Daddy Scott....
And I bet Le Xin too, we have gotten her a small gift before we left...
A spinning device....is that the right name for it? Daddy Scott called it Zu Qing Ting hahaha Xiao Ding Dang always use it right on Da Xiong?
Even though the trip to Science was kinda tiring for the three of us, cause there was a lot of walking and carrying of Le Xin involved but I truly enjoyed spending time together as a family. I love the experience very much and I believe Le Xin had a fun time exploring, investigating and discovering things on her own throughout the trip. I hope this post has motivated you to bring your child or students to the Science Centre.... I know some of you might be wondering, can a young child really understand what he/she is exploring? Well, children often construct knowledge on their own and sometimes it is actually the adults who are thinking too much about what or what not to do so please don't assume that the children do not know what they are doing as this only hinders their learning at the end of the day.
Go visit the Science Centre today and be inspired!
After we left the Science Centre, we went to Jurong for makan, Le Xin had a bowl of fried rice for dinner and I shall end this post with a cute photo of her eatin.... Seeya!
Yummy!
