Contains a brief paragraph how it connects to your study of humanities.: Science is very much a part of any culture. The Exploratorium is a museum that is dedicated to science. Part of a culture is finding out how things became the way they are. The Exploratorium has been a staple in California for learning about science.
Observation: What did you choose? What do you see or hear or feel or think of in the choice you made? What is the subject of the work? If you chose a 'thing' what is the work made of and what techniques (colors, lines, shapes, textures)does the creator use? Be specific in your description. If you chose a place, be specific in your description of what you see or hear. Talk to your reader as though they cannot see the item but somehow must draw a painting of what you see or hear. 1 point : The Exploratorium in San Francisco is the pace I chose I feel like this is a place that makes it cool to learn about science. It presents a very fun atmosphere as it displays science through playing. You learn through your experience. You feel a lot like a kid at an amusement park. You just want to try everything and don’t know where to start. The exterior of this building is built like old ruins with beautiful trees growing around; this alone makes the place worth viewing. Once you enter the
building you feel like you are at the worlds biggest science fair. Different display booths and science equipment litter the building just waiting for you to play with them. Interpretation: What is your choice about? Give specific examples to support this statement in 2 sentences; do so in a way that teaches us something about your choice. Make Paulo Freire proud! .75 point: The choice is about the power of education. The Exploratorium has won the Webby award 5 times since 1997, which is given to the place with the best online experiments or sites on the web. This means that you don’t have to pay that toll and gas cost to have fun and learn, you can simply type in a URL.
Judgment: What led you to your choice? What do you think or feel about this choice? Why do you feel this way? Support your thoughts with specific observations. .5 point: I chose this place, because I have been there countless times. I think this place gives a great view into our past as well as our future in the scientific realm. This place helps you learn a lot about yourself through exhibits like “The Tactile Dome”. The Tactile Dome is a room where you must find your way through a maze that I pitch black.
Questioning: What else would you like to know about this choice? When completing the question section, lead your audience into the question by stating a fact you do know, yet you still have the related question. This way, both your audience and you will have an educational experience: I learned that the Exploratorium has over 20 million webisite vistors a year, I wonder what kind of new online displays they will put up to keep that number so high?

5. Using your classmates work from last week, tell us one thing you learned from 1 student. Is this one thing some common experience you share or some experience that is completely different than what you experienced? Is this one thing related to our class theoretical foundation and if so, how? Is that one thing related to historical or cultural context of this country or a different one? Link that persons blog to this entry (http://josephfitchsblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/hello-my-name-is-joey-and-i-am-taking.html) . .5 point Joesph loves sports as do I. I am sure he has been to plenty of ball games. This is a very common expierence that i have also expierenced. Sports are related to the culture so it does relate to this class. I think sports are part of the historical context.
