Harvey- Questacon in Canberra

We arrived at 9:00 it's opening time.  We got our stamps and payed and then started the fun.

We had a look round and asked a man where the 6 meter slide was.  We found it and headed in. 

When we got there I was speechles for a wile.  It was a 6 meter free drop slide.  

That means you hang on to a monkey bar then let go and drop through the air until the slide meets you and you land on the ground. Mum said she would go 1st but she tried to get out of it.  But she couldn't trick me, so mum went first.  I was next.  

It was scary.  But I did it twice.  Maisie did too.  

Milla was too scard so my little sister didn't go on.  Dad went on once.  After that we were really pumped. I learnt about adrenalin.  My heart rate was 120.  

I also lernt why it is so hot in Australia in summer because we are pointing straight at the sun.  And in England in summer they don't face straight to the sun.

I also lernt that it takes a lot of hard work to boil water and that it is easier to push water than to suck it.

I played a robot in ice hockey and lost.  Everyone lost.  

We saw a show about the moon and I got a few questions right.  After lunch we saw the countdown to a lightning strike.  Suddenly the room was filled with a buzzing sound and we saw a flash of purple in the shape of lots of zig zags.  It was interesting to watch.  

We had a competishon who could score the most points in the game where you have to press the button when it lights up.  Maisie, Dad and I all tied on 24.

We had a big day but it was fun and we lernt lots.
