Sonoluce is
here, a
new permanent music and light exhibit that will hypnotize you
like nothing you've seen before.

Kevin demonstrates how to
play the new Washtub Bass.
You'll find it hiding in a wonderfully resonant spot at the back of the
interactive area, behind the fish tanks.

New
Exhibit!
The Light-Writer, an exhibit developed by Michael
Oppenheimer for the Santa Fe Children's Museum. It combines the
motion of two pendulums whose gyrations leave mesmerizing green trails
on a phosphorescent screen. Come and give it a try.

The
remaining three main residents or our Aquatic
Ecosystem exhibit continue to thrive. Sadly, little one-eye, who
lost her eye early-on in an altercation with an invading dragonfly
nymph, is now deceased. We're amazed she survived as long as she
did. Long live one-eye.
Our only complaint is that
the more you feed the three survivors the more they grow. But at least
we don't have to fret about our biggest bruiser going cannabilistic
with one-eye.
Maybe our ecosystem needs a couple
herons to keep things in balance. Don't worry guys, I'm just kidding.
Again, this year, we introduced a number of frog eggs to the exhibit
that
eventually hatched tadpoles. They duly metamorphosed into young frogs
the size of your thumbnail.
As we did last year, we released the youngsters into the Lummi
Island pond where we collected the eggs. Next spring they can add their
voices to the evening mating chorus of their wild-grown fellows.
