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.
Pacific Science is one of the must go places in Seattle. Its is right next to the famous space needle.
Pacific Science Center is an independent, non-profit science museum based in Seattle, Washington. It sits on 7.1 acres (29,000 m2) of land located on the south side of the Seattle Center. A satellite campus in Bellevue, Washington, the Mercer Slough Environmental Center, teaches children and adults about environmental stewardship, wetland ecology and nature awareness. Like many museums, Pacific Science Center creates, builds and rents many traveling exhibits. Pacific Science Center also has a fleet of vans that provide science education to schools all across the state. A division of staff workers show teachers in the state how to teach science.

EMI brain scanner, installed at Atkinson Morley's Hospital, Wimbledon in1971, by EMI, Hayes, Middlesex. This brain scanner, designed by Godfrey Hounsfield at EMI, was the first production model with which the first trials on patients were undertaken in 1971. These established CT (computerised tomography) scanning as a key imaging technology, particularly for the brain. The CT scanner was a runaway success: by 1977 there were 1130 machines installed across the world. The technique continues to be popular, but the more recent technology of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is now being used for many of the diagnostic tasks previously assigned to CT.

My father had a note that this might be Lowell, Fritz, Mike, or Dave, in College Park, Maryland. I'm speculating that they were some rocket-payload colleagues he needed to work with, maybe on an early TIROS mission? Can't really tell what they're holding together with that forest of C-clamps, unfortunately.

Description: The first model of oxygenated haemoglobin is one of the iconic images of twentieth-century biology. Complete molecule of haemoglobin is made up of four subunits, each of which consists of one polypeptide chain and one haem.There are two kinds of subunit, designated alpha (white) and beta (black), which have different sequences of amino acid residues but similar three-dimensional structures. The beta chain also has one short extra helix. The four subunits are arranged at the vertices of a tetrahedron around an axis of two-fold symmetry. Each haem (gray) lies in a separate pocket at the surface of the molecule. Haemoglobin is the iron-containing oxygen-transport metalloprotein in the red blood cells of vertebrates.

The Faculty of Science offers Science Rocks! summer camps every year throughout July and August. Designed especially for young people in Grades 4, 5, and 6. These camps are great fun and an awesome learning opportunity for campers.
In the morning today, Science Rocks kids focused on interesting behaviours of fire and light and explored the state of solids and liquids. In the afternoon, outdoors activities included water fun in the sun.

Getting the kids to try an experiment that made little tubs pop and fly into the air. Here, one of the tubs has popped, and is in the air, as the woman running the experiment looks justifiably pleased with it. The tub is in the air, on the left, in front of the logo where it says “TRAILS”.
Lower Columbia College is proud to host the annual Science Olympiad where K-12 and High School students complete in academic workshops. Students have gone through much preparation, commitment, coaching and practice all year for this event. Competitions are related to a multitude of studies such as Genetics, Engineering, Technology, Thermodynamics, Physics, Anatomy, Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry and more.
For visitors from out of town, Orlando Science Center is a must for your “things to do in Orlando” list. It is a place that inspires curiosity and exploration for the whole familyWith four floors of exciting exhibits, amazing giant screen movies and engaging live programming, the Science Center is the perfect family destination.

BANK OF CUSTOM-BUILT MACHINES PERMIT CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE SLIDING FRICTION AND WEAR TESTS TO BE PERFORMED.
TRI-BOLOGY RESEARCH AT ORNL BEGIN IN 1982 IN RESPONSE TO THE NEED TO DEVELOP CONCEPTS FOR HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH EFFICIENCY CERAMIC HEAT ENGINES. SOME OF THE NATION'S BEST TRI-BOLOGY TEST SYSTEMS ARE LOCATED IN ORNL'S HIGH TEMPERATURE MATERIALS LABORATORY. THE EQUIPMENT IS CONFIGURED TO STUDY FRICTION AND WEAR AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES AND IN VARIOUS GASEOUS ENVIRONMENTS. THE FOUR SIDE-BY-SIDE UNITS IN THE FOREGROUND ARE USED FOR SLIDING FRICTION AND WEAR TESTING AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, AND THE TALL UNIT BEHIND THEM IS USED FOR EXPERIMENTS ON ADVANCED MATERIALS AT TEMPERATURES UP TO 1000 DEGREES CENTIGRADE.
