Despite our commitments and a busy schedule in Ottawa, my mom, son, and I made time to visit three museums, including the Canada Science and Technology Museum.
We enjoyed exploring everything from the magnetized target fusion exhibit and interactive periodic table to the telescopes and astronomy displays in Hidden Worlds. There was plenty to keep us curious, with opportunities to explore physics, energy, the building blocks of matter, and how we study the universe.
These exhibits offered teaching moments: connecting elements to everyday materials, exploring the science behind fusion, and understanding how telescopes help us see beyond what our eyes alone can detect. The hands-on experiences gave us reasons to pause, ask questions, and work things out together.
The museum had something for all of us. Three generations of learners, bringing different knowledge and experiences, sharing discoveries, and learning from one another.
