We all went to Edinburgh to visit the Geology Centre and then the Royal Observatory. The Geology centre is quite big, on five different floors, and on each floor there is all about a different subject to do with the planet earth, volcanoes, rocks, crystals, fossils, and how our planet was made. There were lots of scientists there to help us with questions, activities, a quiz, and fun stuff. I did panning for gold, saw and felt an earthquake machine, saw volcanic rock from Hawaii and best of all saw amazing fossils like this cave bear skull and mammoth tusk.
Then we walked up the hill to the Royal Observatory. We went inside one of the old obervation domes where there is a huge old telescope. They turned the dome around when we were inside! We went into another building up on the roof and made rockets, then we went outside on the roof to see all of Edinburgh.
