Adrian's Field Trip Report : Dino's Alive at The National Science Centre

We visited the Dino's Alive Exhibition at the National Science Centre on 25 January 2011, with a few fellow homeschoolers. The exhibition has been running since 1 Dec 2010 and will go on till 31 May 2011, however some of the side attractions, such as the Dino Train and Fossil Digging were closed, with no reason given. Here's Adrian's account of the outing :


Dino's Alive
By Adrian Ghani

The dinos were not alive. They were robots. Everyone knows dinos are extinct. Some robots made sounds and moved. Some were big. Some were small.

There was also other stuff we could play with and touch. I liked the wall pictures that changed when I touched it. We made dino keychains. We coloured a plastic picture of a dinosaur. Then, it was put in the oven and it shrinked (Mum's note : he meant shrunk) and became hard. Then a chain was put in it and it became a key chain.

We played in the park. It was fun. We saw some fish. Cahaya's mum had food for tortise in her bag. My mum only had food for me.
