Museum of Science and Industry @ Chicago


This museum rocks my socks. I challenged my friend Ryan to a game of Mind Ball. To win the game, you must completely relax and have less activity in your mind then your opponent. A graph is displayed for viewers that shows the gamma rays or something like it which reflect the activity in your brain. Whomever has less activity at any one time will push the ball away from themselves. I lost terribly!

This was only one of the plethora of awesome and hands on displays at the museum. They had a great exhibit on weather, showing off everything from avalanches to tornadoes. Again, a lot of hands on activities here to really show someone how mother nature gets the job done. A must see for anyone interested in how things work.
