"Admission is free - you can pay at the door"
It is free to go into the Science Museum but there is a strong suggestion that one should make a donation.

" What good is a house, if you haven't got a decent planet to put it on?" - Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
Science in Sport is making an array of awesome products...and they have a few top tier teams benefiting from their innovations.
Scampering along Margaret Street, in London's West End, I noticed this poster by the entrance to the 'Happy Science' temple. Happy Science is a religious and spiritual movement founded in Japan in 1986 by Ryuho Okawa. Margaret Thatcher had died the previous month so I was curious about what the tag line 'Unprecedented Scoop' meant - I found the following in 'The Liberty Web':
Merely 19 hours after her death, Master Ryuho Okawa, the founder and CEO of Happy Science, invited Mrs. Thatcher’s spirit to the General Headquarters’ prayer hall to talk about her thoughts from Heaven.
A site-specific sonic event that’s both performance and installation, Sound Spandrel: Science Museum highlights peripheral and overlooked building spaces by exploring their musical attributes. The tonalities of heating and cool- ing systems, the buzz of light bulbs, the percussive pat- terns of footsteps and door slams, all inspire a live score sourced from the sounds of the building itself, and elec- tronically blended back into the space by the artists.
Performing musicians include: Charles Gillett, John Kannenberg, Bethany Lacktorin, Joe Nagel, and Davu Seru. Instrumentation features guitar, saxophone, zither, cymbal, bells, mbira, and digitally manipulated recordings of the actual space.

Studying the effects of facial expression on the brain and how we perceive emotion both verbally and non-verbally.
Studies have shown that not all facial expression, or expression in its entirety, are universal.
Edman and Izard pioneered the study of facial expressions in the late 1960s, stating that one can tell a person’s true emotion based upon their facial expression. However, Fridlund said facial expressions show more about those who perceive them and found that facial expressions were critical to social interaction.
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.
"Shattered"
Took this with a remote trigger i made to set the flash off during the moment of impact. I would say it was worth the mess!

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.

I think it was science class anyway. That's me in the front row. I owned this coat until my wife finally threw it out about three years ago.

citrus produces electricity!
it's actually the flow of electrons from 2 different metals- zinc to copper- in the acidic liquid. the first battery in 1800 by Volta in spain was a stack of zinc and copper plates with leather soaked in lemon juice between each layer.
the things you learn from having kids....
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.
HMNS chemist Carolyn Leap magically alters the color spectrum - shake the liquid, it turns from yellow to red. Shake it more - green! How did she do that? The kids at Cornelius Elementary know - and you can learn, too - at Magic: The Science of Wonder, a new exhibit opening Feb. 26 at HMNS!
