Its a place to be at for all the science lovers, and those like me who like it when exposed to experimentation. The science centre has projects displayed where one can actually try out and experience for themselves what the cause and effect is...
Came to know a lot about gravity, centrifugal force, the vortex, the light and sounds section was enlightening (pun intended). I wonder what we would have done without air and atmosphere.. There was a 3D show that taught us the value of nature, recycled materials, preserving environment, etc.
The biggest deal for the day was the science Odessey show. They were showing Africa - The serengeti. Its a documentary movie on nature as seen on the serengeti plain. Its a
huge area of grassland in Tanzania. At the time of drought the animals travel north
in order to survive.. and in its true meaning its the test of survival. The "Great Migration" in which million of wildbeasts, zebras travel hundred of miles across as the lions and other dangers like crocodiles await them along the way. The narrator describes the scene saying " the hunter kills to eat and to feed its own. There never is anything more to it. There is nothing that is ever wasted". The experience of watching this crazy hunt in the dome theatre was a memory that will last with me for a long time to come.
Looking forward to visit the NSC again for more information, new shows and better experiences and memberships.
cool stuff, glad you're trying your hands at different experimental things apart from the food! :D hehe! :D
ReplyDeleteThis is a great blog. I wish I was a kid again and instead of text books and exams could learn science in places like the science centre. School trips were always so cramped and hurried. There was more fake discipline and peer pressure than there was genuine interest in learning about science. Anyway, I guess other would have experienced happier times at school. Thanks for sharing your experience. Take-Care! Ciao! - Raphae
ReplyDeleteI had a nice time at the science center that day too, but was all 'scienced' out by the end of the day. Mmmm... good chinese soup at the canteen. :p
