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No. 1868 'Columbine' (No.49) designed by Alexander Allen, built at Crewe Works of the Grand Junction Railway in 1845, withdrawn in 1902, seen in the Making the Modern World exhibition at the Science Museum, South Kensington, London.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.

The Air and Space Hall occupies the former Lower Campfield Market Hall built in 1876. The building became the City Exhibition Hall in about 1900 and opened as the Air and Space Museum in May 1983. This became part of the Museum of Science and Industry in December 1985.
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!

Pacific Science Center includes six acres of hands-on science fun, two IMAX theaters, Tropical Butterfly House, Live Science Stage shows, Discovery Carts, Laser Dome and much more.
I don't remember what this was, but I remember it was at the science museum in London. It's one of the many free museums in this city. You have no excuse for being bored in London - you're just not taking advantage of what it has to offer.

Description: Segmented model of the cervical spine extracted from CT images. Segmentation is the partitioning of an image volume into non-overlapping voxelized regions. Each region defines the geometric locus of an anatomical structure. As part of the geometric modeling process, segmentation is the turning point in anatomical representation: it establishes the transition from the supportive bi-dimensional image realm (image data) to a fully tri-dimensional domain (mesh data).
