Our next stop was the Davidson Institute of Science Education, part of the Weizmann Institute of Science. There we met with a number of members of both the science and the mathematics teams - teams that develop programs for the classroom, but also for pupils (and adults) that seek to enhance their scientific knowledge.
Of course we're smiling - even if it was a very hot day, it was enlightening and enjoyable - including enjoyable to be together.
We learned about programs like "ask an expert" that put pupils in contact with scientists who help them understand what's behind many physical phenomena that they experience in a regular day.
Not everything is hi-tech (though nobody ever said it was). At the end of our visit we spent much too little time in the Clore Garden of Science where we had a chance to have some hands-on experience with waves and gyroscopes, and even a bit of sound.
And when we arrived at Davidson we took a moment for a group photo:
