Sci-tech




Lots of things to do



We pressed lots of buttons.


Lots of things to try

A wonderful Aqarium





Experimenting with creating dams

Last weekend we went to Sci-tech museum at Khobar corniche, its a favourite with our family. There is also an Imax cinema. This time we brought home a telescope so I'm now on the look out for a decent star map relevant to us if anyone knows where I can get one please let me know?


By the way if you have any Dinosaurs fans in your family sci-tech will be having a dinosaur exhibition from the 8th of February in collaboration with the Natural History Museum in London.
Amendment
Well we went to see the exhibition yesterday only to be told there is no dinosaur exhibit, and that actually it was last year so I must apologise to anyone who went. Sorry. It seems Sci-tech hasn't updated their English website for a year. Next time I will call to check anything up and coming , we were all so disappointed.

Saudi ARAMCO exhibit

 We had a little trip at the weekend to the ARAMCO exhibit, we have never been before so we piled into my Dads car and went to take a look, I m afraid I didn't get many photos just of the outside. It was of course mainly about oil and its processes and uses and three of my four children are really too young to appreciate the facts but they enjoyed pressing buttons. However I was so impressed by Kuku my eldest she went around totally absorbed and even got her visual diary out to make some notes!!!
