Leonardo Da Vinci Exhibit

SCCCHE field trip = lots of fun. :) 

Our tour guide was dressed in Renaissance attire. 

Leonardo da Vinci was the first person known to have the idea of a robot! 

Flying machine
 
Pulleys

Paddle boat

Large group, right?

Replicas of da Vinci's artwork



Looking through the peephole in the mirror box

The peephole was quite small for the camera lens, not to mention the fact that... *cough cough* certain people kept putting their hands over the hole and blocking the camera, so looking down from the top worked quite well. :D 

Inside the mirror box...

Knut and friends building a bridge by Da Vinci's design

Rosemary fell asleep during a short video. :)

The finished bridge

I had no idea that Leonardo Da Vinci had been the originator of so many ideas! He's credited for airplanes, helicopters, diving gear, armored tanks, robots, life preservers, paddle boats, flywheels, interchangeable parts, springs, and so many more! This was definitely an interesting exhibit. Only problem is, I got behind on my schoolwork so I'll have to make it up this weekend.

Bright Lights was tonight, so since the Swogger girls went on the field trip as well, they took me home with them until Bright Lights. ;) Lots of fun. :D
