SM Science Discovery Center Trip

Sunday, February 15, 2009

Looking for a new place to visit with your kids or students? SM Science Discovery Center is the first-ever technology-based, highly interactive science theme park in the Philippines. The Nest Blue Jays (morning and afternoon classes) toured SM SDC last Friday, February 13. Needless to say, the children had an awesome time as they learned more than a handful of things about science.

SM SDC has 10 galleries, each with unique features and again—all interactive! The children’s favorites are (their words are in quotes): Mr. T (The Virtual Reef)–the talking titan fish. “He’s so funny!” “He asked if he can marry you, teacher!” “He’s afraid of sharks.” “He knows English, Filipino and Chinese!”

“burping machine” (Grossology) “It was so fun. The sound was funny.”

“earthquake machine” (City Science)

“Movie about the reef!” (The Enchanted Reef film at Digistar Planetarium)

The other galleries are: Transportation Nation -with flight simulator, solar powered car, make-your-own-cars

Life Clock - type an e-mail, pick a date to send and your friend will receive it in the future (like 2010)!

Spaceship Earth -it’s all about caring for our planet

Robot Inc. - robot models and robot games

It’s a great place to visit for older children. My pictures don’t do justice.

[note to self: must save for a better camera] but either way, if you want to see more, click here.

About Me

I am Paula Garcia and Teacher Papol is just one of the many nicknames I got from the children I’ve worked with through the years. I am currently a First Grade teacher during the day and an MA Psychology student at night.

I like writing during my free time--as a way of destressing and keeping track of the things that go on in my life.

My goal is to share my experiences and ideas about activities, dealing with children and families, resources, etcetera to help my fellow teachers in their journey of touching lives.
