Yesterday we visited the Science Museum of Alcobendas, also known as Cosmocaixa. It is very curious, as it was the first museum in a position that I visited, back when I was in 8 of GBS in an activity that allowed us to spend the night at the museum and have evening activities. At that time, but had many of the activities and experiments that currently has had a very different distribution. Yet almost 20 years later, had enough desire to see what was new and enjoy what they had seen.
first thing we found was a large pendulum that was turning and pulling metal cylinder slowly, near the entrance, very curious, and outside a ball of two-ton granite was moved by a stream that flowed beneath it. To my surprise, there was an exhibition of dinosaurs ! authentic fossils found in the Gobi Desert very interesting especially for someone like me, I had a very hard time with them as a cobra. And if Mongolian dinosaurs are not large ( Protoceratops, Gallimimus, Oviraptor , etc), the Tarbosaurus impresses ¡que vivan los terópodos! Y no pensaba que los gallimimus fuesen tan grandes, aún después de haberlos visto en Parque Jurásico. 
Lo siguiente fueron exposiciones sobre el clima y sus cambios, una sobre la evolución de la vida en la tierra con fósiles de todo tipo y modelos de los homínidos más significativos, y después la parte de los experimentos físicos, la más chula para los críos a mi modo de ver, ya que prácticamente todo se puede tocar porque cada explicación va acompañada de un experimento práctico que tú mismo puedes hacer. Allí pudimos comprobar dos cosas: - Los críos today do not know what they mean fences and other barriers aimed not to touch certain things. There was an erratic pendulum on which small animals were climbing despite warnings from employees. "Parents? What is that?
- Parents have no interest in visiting museums with their children. The test gave us a kid, that when observing a fluid iron and while we manipulated their properties, he asked his father, "What's that, what's that, Dad?" , To which his father, in a display of interest, said, "energy, son, that is energy" , And turned around so pancho.
saying that some of the monsters belonged to a lady who is the star of the next part of the visit, since we had tickets for the planetarium and sat beside me. Pensábamo they were going to get a movie of the universe (that's why it was a planetarium and such), but instead projected an interesting mini-documentaries about the 5 kingdoms of living things seen through the scanning electron microscope with 3D models allowed us to navigate between colonies of bacteria and fungal spores forests as we explain the characteristics and importance of each of them, all well explained and very educational. Our dear mother of children entangled whole film was shot allegedly talking to explain to their children what it was what they saw, instead of listening to the lady who spoke and explained. This is normal to some extent, since the kids are curious and wonder what all. What is not so normal is that after the projection is near the head of the cabin and tell him "the movie does not seem suitable for children ." Lady, you have not heard does not mean that children too, if he had heard, perhaps (just maybe) his opinion was different.
whole experience, again to enjoy the physical, out of paper, with real examples that you understand everything. A highly recommended visit for both the mind and the pocket. And if anyone has kids, a bit of interest prestadles; sure you learn something. PS erratic A pendulum is a pendulum at its end has a magnet. It is surrounded by more magnets (in this case 3), to release the pendulum, the repulsive forces between the magnets do it does not have an irregular path throws erratically in all directions.
PPD: ferric A fluid is a fluid that has the property of solidifying when exposed to a magnetic field (magnet).
