Trip to Science Centre

Went to the Science Centre with Slug. Maybe our stunted mental growth granted us this amazing ability to be perpetually fascinated by the kiddie optical illusions and interactive exhibits there. That is why we keep returning to this place!

We first visited our favourite marine ecosystem section.

Australian Snow Crab (someone bring on the sweet chilli sauce and bread morsels!)

My ever-favourite moray eel!

Coral that glows under UV light (quite a lacklustre glow, though)

Then it was on to the biology section ...

Venus Flytrap!

Let's mingle with our common household friends!

Mouse foetus, chicken skeleton and rabbit anatomy immortalized in goo

And the ever-favourite incubator! How many chicks has this incubator help give birth to, but the mystery that must have been bugging most primary school students is - do these cute and fluffy chicks, after earning our adoring oohs-and-aahs the moment they poked their heads through the shell, end up on our plates three months later?

Nevertheless, we were lucky to actually see some of the chicks hatch!

We ended our visit with a picture of Slug having fun with an optical illusion.
