HSO's Night at the Museum

The Honors Student Organization (HSO) took a page out of Ben Stiller’s book and spent a night at the Children’s Museum on November 18th.  Unfortunately, Owen Wilson did not show up, however, it was a success nevertheless.  We entertained ourselves with games of sardines, movies, board games and running through the various exhibits all culminating in a fun and memorable night.  When you got too tired or just passed out, you could do so in places such as a heart or an airplane (without the crying babies) or underneath an apple tree.  Our first ever HSO Children’s Museum Sleepover was a great success and we hope to do it again in the future.

However, it was not all fun and games, learning was involved.  Below are some of the facts I learned at the sleepover.

Did you know?

• That a shrimp has its heart in its head

• Dirty snow melts faster than its cleaner counterpart

• The Atlantic Ocean is saltier than the Pacific Ocean

• Babies crawl an average of 200m a day

• A cat can jump five times as it is tall

• The state of Florida is bigger than England
