Yesterday , the boys and I headed to the Electrium...
The Electrium is in Ste-Julie on the south shore of Montreal and is a place run by Hydro-Quebec to learn all about electricity…
The tour starts out with a few minute long films that were fun and held all of the kids attentions…
then they learned about safety,
then electricity/magnetism in Nature with electric eels and other fish, the human body, static electricity, power and circuitry…
It was really quite informative and most of all it was a lot of fun…
The boys loved it especially because everything can be touched and tried…
Xavier learning about how a circuit works….
This of course was a big hit…
But I think that this was Colin’s favourite part… the guy who was showing the tour let him go up even though he was a bit small… he told Colin not to take his hand of the ball and Colin listened so well that it was hard for him to hear when it was safe to do so… he just stayed so still and didn’t move…
If you are near or in Montreal the Electrium is on the south shore not too far away from the Island. It is free and though it is not a big place it is a lot of fun and even for little kids…
Wow. That place is even cooler than I thought it was going to be! I want to go there!
That looks super fun! I wish there was something like that near us!
