Just recently we visited the Museum of Man "Living Systems" ( http://www.turpravda.com/places/ru/moskva/Interaktivnyj_muzej_cheloveka_ZHivye_sistemy-s5537/r15 8489.html ), which at one time "spun off" from "Experimentanium" (I stubbornly want to name "Experiment by Rium"). There were plans to go to the Experimentanium itself, but somehow later, after all, the age category of my escort group is 4-6 years old (and there are still no 6 years old) - it confuses me, does it make sense to take such small ones there? But, as always, chance intervened))) You see, I went to the Active Citizen portal to see if I could reward myself with some tickets for honestly earned points (it’s coming to the weekend) ...And, please, a museum of entertaining sciences Experimentanium! Well, I couldn't get past it.
Weekends are certainly not the best days to visit popular places. Well, just a huge number of people! I knew this, I was ready for this, I honestly warned my husband, but, anyway, his first phrase was: “Where did you bring me?!
"Nothing, a few minutes of adaptation to noise, setting the body to increased attention when moving, so as not to knock down children suddenly appearing under their feet - and it started ...
Of course, the longest time the children stayed where they, at least a little bit, but it was clear. For example, in the section on magnets, the magnetic field. What is a “field”, they don’t care, but the fact that the nuts “stick together” is so much fun
The main thing for the kids is to touch everything, what moves - move, what is pressed - click. And what, why and why, but what's the difference ...
As it turned out, this principle of inspection is not only for preschoolers, but many schoolchildren can seep between you and the exhibit while you are reading the instructions for use, press, pull, push (what is supposed to be there by design) with the question “Well, what should be here ?
"Don't think, I'm not indignant, I'm warning))) Somewhere in the middle of the second floor, after one pulled or pressed something, and the second got hit on the forehead with a board (not fatal, even without a bump), the children no longer ran away from me. Or rather, they ran away, but not far and not for long, exactly until they needed to read the description of the next miracle.
Not only children, but also adults hang out at some of the exhibits. I've walked through the mirror maze three times. Mind-blowing! Unfortunately, not a single one, at least somehow conveying this mirror-like effect, turned out to be a photo. Or, in the photo, a group of men is very passionate about something - they are solving puzzles: for example, to assemble a square from four figures. We also tried, but, alas, the patience was not enough
And for some reason, there are more adults than children in distorting mirrors. Although, mirrors are not enough, of course. But there is one among them!
It’s impossible to get away from him for sure - he’s amazingly slim, and you just want to turn around, it’s like nothing else ...: ) My little ones in these mirrors didn’t understand anything and ran away to conquer the giant chairs
A very interesting section on water, the power of water, the energy generated with the help of water, etc. Here the children linger for a long time, how not to splash, and even play boats. It would be interesting for me to “play around” myself, that is, “by rotating the red valves, put into action various elements of the reservoir and guide the ships from the upper roll to the lower”, but will these “sailors” give)))
There are several interesting rooms. In one (with a displaced horizon line) you can check your vestibular apparatus. Mine was enough for one pass, and the kids showed off. And in the other, the illusion of a decrease-increase in size is created.
I apologize for the photo, by that time my husband had disappeared in the wilds of popular science mechanics, and this was the only way to capture this interesting effect.
There is also a room with soap bubbles, where you can visit inside the bubble. True, the bubble itself does not always work out, but if you really try ...
And in the hall dedicated to sounds (sound waves), you can try yourself as a musician without knowing musical notation at all and with a complete lack of hearing! As they say, no comment)))
All!! ! Four hours of physics to the accompaniment of screams, roar, rumble! My strength is gone. I couldn't see or even hear anything. TO THE EXIT! The children, of course, resisted and even hysteria, but my armor is strong, "and our tanks are fast. " On the way to the exit, some of the exhibits had to wait a little longer (children don’t give up just like that either), but that’s okay, the exit is already close.
Let's summarize. Great museum!
Great place for physics and biology lessons. Of course, it is expensive for a separate lesson, but maybe for the final lessons for half a year - a year. You need to bring schoolchildren here, even if they are not “physicists”, but “lyricists”, with such visual stands and mock-ups, you can easily retrain: ) But preschool children purposefully, I would not take them there on purpose, if I had to take them with the elders. No, it’s also interesting and fun for them there - such a huge playground, but it’s difficult, tiring, incomprehensible - if you try to explain and tell them something at least a little bit. Well, if you still came with a small child to the Experimentanium, then start the inspection immediately from the third floor, there are more visual and familiar things for the baby - sound, light .. .
