Kids talk about Casa de la Ciencia!


It's strange to think about this: all of us were little boys and girls at some point of our lives... This blog is indeed written from an adult point of view, too serious maybe. That's why today is all about turning perspective around.

Eight kids aged 10 and 11 have visited Casa de la Ciencia and plot their impressions on an written essay, which we secretly and thouroughly read. Let's see.

"Hi. I'm Tibi. I liked Casa de la Ciencia. Casa de la Ciencia is very big. And beautiful too." Tibi likes to put the cart before the horse - to begin with the conclusions. Manuela is more of a journalist: "Two weeks ago we went to Casa de la Ciencia, also called museum of science, in which scientists research a lot of living beings from all around the world". What about Alejandro? He thinks of his experience as a "very cool expedition". Wow! Flattering!

Inside the museum, everyone first noticed "the big clock that works with water" (our clepsydra) and Marino the whale.

First stop: Planetarium or "the dark room" (why use such tricky words?) where "we observed the Universe. I saw the planets: Marses, Mercury, Uranus, the Sun, the Earth, the Moon". Everyone liked "the comfortable armchairs called POUF". Even though poor Maria got dizzy...






Now we go "to the center of the museum, where we were showed a lot of cells" "where a man explained to us the inside of the human body". Then "came another man who showed us a lot of insects: flies, butterflies, spiders, scorpions..." "That I liked too because I saw scary insects I didn't know before and their sculptures".

"Yeah and suddenly we got into a big room where we saw skeletons of dolphins and whales" - "and also a big water sphere with little crabbies". "In the roof there were sharks it was very big it was cool i had fun". 

"When we finished we went down the stairs, where we travelled back in time, because we saw fossils from thousands of years ago. Also a lot of funny minerals and rocks. The man told me that a long time ago ocean ran dry, but then it got full again". Miriam just got a Paleontology expert, congrats!.

¿Jumping to conclusions? Three of the kids liked best the Planetarium with POUF armchairs and three films, whereas Ivan' and Tibi's favourite moment was "when we sang all together in the bus".

Manuela has a bad review: "I would have liked it more if the guide didn't come with us to the upstairs collection, but besides that I'm content". Miriam invites everyone to come "because you will learn about the beggining of the world".

"Ok this is it kisses and hugs bye! THE END"
