BOSTON – Toddlers bounced around the classroom in the Head Start site on Geneva Avenue in Dorchester, playing with toys, building with blocks or making their way up the climbing structure. Standing tall above the children, Bobbie Williams, 78, smiled as she offered to read a picture book to a young girl running by.
"It's fun to watch them. You can see how they don't talk and then all of a sudden they start talking," said Williams, who has been a foster grandparent for eight years.
The Museum of Science's new exhibit, Macro or Micro? Challenging our Perceptions of Scale, invites us to contemplate images on a mind-blowing scale, whether extremely magnified or taken from outer space. The title refers to the exhibit's family-friendly visitor challenge to try and distinguish whether a series of juxtaposed images was taken on a macro or micro scale.
