Today, we made a lovely trip to the Houston Health Museum! On Thursdays from 2-5pm admission is free!
We started in the theater first:
 |
| Here we are ready for the 4-D experience of Planet You to start! |
 |
| 4-D is so cool! |
Then we proceeded to enter the Human Body exhibit!
 |
| The Voice box/ vocal cords! You get to watch this AMAZING video of live footage of this organ at work! SUPER COOL!!! |
 |
This rope is 27 feet long = how long our small intestine is in our body!!!!
You can pull it to get a grasp of how longggg it truly is! |
 |
You put one of the different kidneys in and
the guy's face appears and tells you
about the health/condition its kidney is in! |
 |
| Here it is! That 10 ft tall, giant sized BRAIN!!! |
 |
Quizzing ourselves on the functions of different parts of the brain!
|
 |
| Inside the brain!!! Heeehee! |
 |
| The neurons inside! |
 |
| Loved this! The camera does not quite show it, but it looks like you can grasp the apple in the air, but you cannot- it is just an illusion! The REAL apple is underneath with a rounded mirror reflecting the image up just like our eye does! :) |
 |
| DNA double-helix! Oh yeah! Love it! |
 |
The EAR!!
Testing 1..2...3 |
 |
| Cool! Everything is Texas-sized! ;) |
 |
| Actual bones!!! Cool! |
The Amazing Scream Box!!!
 |
| You get inside and scream as loud as you can!!! What a blast!!! |
 |
"ROAR...louder than a lion!"
I was able to scream louder than a Lion! Oh yeah!!!
(my favorite part) |
 |
| A device on the outside measures how high you scream then there is a chart to compare to other loud noises... |
 |
| Riding along side a skeleton! |
 |
| As you move, the bones that you are using move as well! |
 |
| The ceiling...inside the Thoracic cavity ;) |
 |
| the GIANT eye! |
 |
| My reflection in the pupil of the giant eye |
 |
| SOOO COOL!! SEE THE SNAKES MOVING??? |
 |
| The Lungs |
 |
| The throat...up above |
 |
| Having fun crawling through the teeth! :) |
 |
Nice mouth! :)
|
Over all, we had a great time with lots of hands on learning and discovering the amazing body system!
Then we sang on the way home!!! :)
