Chuck Norris from Planet of the Apes. Just kidding... it is really Charleton Heston. Actually it is a facsimile of Charleton Heston. :)
I only had 2 hours here this visit,so I just managed to capture the ground floor.
The Science Museum is one of three major museums on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. It was founded in 1857 and today is one of the city's major tourist attractions, attracting 2.7 million visitors annually.
Like other publicly funded national museums in the United Kingdom, the Science Museum does not charge visitors for admission. Temporary exhibitions, however, may incur an admission fee. It is part of the Science Museum Group, having merged with the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester in 2012.

KILKENNY - Monday, 2nd November 2015 - The annual Science Foundation Ireland Science Summit begins today in Kilkenny. Taking place over two-days (2th-3th November) with the theme For Whats Next, the summit provides a platform for 300 members of Irelands research community to discuss Irelands science policy, programmes and progress. The summit will feature keynote speakers including Mr Chris Lewicki, President and Chief Engineer at Planetary Resources, a USA based asteroid mining company whose vision is to do the impossible now by developing a space economy through Asteroid mining.

LNWR 2-2-2 No. 1868 'Columbine' (No.49) designed by Alexander Allen, built at Crewe Works of the Grand Junction Railway in 1845, withdrawn in 1902, seen in the Making the Modern World exhibition at the Science Museum, South Kensington, London.
My daughter wanted a science cake. It was rather difficult because she wanted cream cheese frosting. It was so hard to get the frosting to decorate well. I used rolled buttercream for the book and gumpaste for the figures.
Construction progress on the historic building and the assembly of the tilt-up panels for the new addition.

Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture’s design for the Powerhouse Science Center re-envisions a historic riverfront structure as a hub for science education, exploration and promotion in the City of Sacramento. On the banks of the Sacramento River, the Science Center grows out from an abandoned power station building. As a principal component of the Riverfront activation, the Powerhouse Science Center anchors Robert T. Matsui Waterfront Park and borders the southern terminus of the 32-mile American River Bike Trail.
Vacant for over half a century, the structure undergoes a complete historic rehabilitation and the construction of a new floor level inside. A new two-story addition projects from the east side, containing a lobby, classrooms, offices and a cafe. A 110-seat planetarium is prominently on display with a zinc-clad hemispheric dome rising above the building’s mass. As representation of our place in the universe, the facade and building mass is sectioned by multiple planes, creating continuous vector lines that extend across the building and site. From satellites to world landmarks, the lines form connections with local and global points of interest.
The original PG&E Power Station B was designed in 1912 in the Beaux Arts Style by architect Willis Polk and was formally closed in 1954. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, California Register of Historic Places and the Sacramento Register of Historic & Cultural Resources. The Powerhouse Science Center is designed to achieve a USGBC LEED Rating of Silver.

Patchwork sock and sun to allow all children to participate - in pairs they stuck strips of pink/blue/yellow onto 10x10cm squares.
Squares at bottom them coloured over in pink/blue felt tip to look like it's wetter.

The LCC Science Fiction Club put on a halloween themed event to protect the LCC Campus from Pestum Immortosis - the zombie plague! Club members and the campus had a blast getting candy and pretending.
Everyone was invited to participate in the Zombie Plague Vaccination Program (ZPVP) where Nurses’* Station administered zombie plague vaccinations* in the Student Center on Monday, Oct. 28 and Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2013.
For those that got bitten by a zombie* before being vaccinated*, medication* from the ZPVP Nurses’ Station was available to slow the progression of the disease.
* Notes: Not real nurses, though some of them may play nurses on T.V. Vaccinations and medications are non-pharmaceutical candy-placebos. Zombie-actors respected personal space, and those that participate received a zombie “bite” certificate.

This is my son's science project from 7th grade (1999). The intention was to compare the weight supported by a suspension bridge and a truss bridge. The same amount of material (balsa and roadway) was used in both bridges.
Neither bridge failed under the weights that were added. Pretty impressive! As you can probably tell, the amount of weight on the suspension bridge wouldn't even fit on the truss bridge as built.
The washers are about 2 inches in diameter.

Nicolas Ochart and Linae Myhand of the “Science Kids,” a team from Heidelberg Middle School's 7th grade Science Club present information on wind turbines. They hope to implement the energy in their school by placing a wind turbine on the roof of the middle school. They presented their research at the Feb. 11 Community Update at the Patrick Henry Village Theater in Heidelberg.

Description: Insulin, a protein hormone that is produced in the pancreas and regulates the metabolism of glucose, fats and proteins, was discovered by Frederick Banting and his student Charles Best. Later, the X-ray crystallographer Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin was able to fully establish its tridimensional complex molecular structure. The two chains that make up insulin are shown in this model. The larger balls represent zinc atoms that were introduced chemically as a reference to help to decode the rest. Each monomer is composed of 51 amino acid units, containing about 256 atoms of carbon, 381 of hydrogen, 65 of nitrogen, 76 of oxygen and 6 of sulfur!
