Underwater Exploration Water is one among the most basic needs for the evolution and sustenance of life. Earth, with its 2 / 3rd surface covered with water, is a unique planet in the universe so far known, where life originated and flourished. Oceans, rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and water-bodies hold amazing scientific treasures. The interactive exhibits, large marine and sweet water live aquaria, video displays, multimedia games and scenic recreations in this gallery not only explain the concepts of under water phenomena, but also enlighten us with the vast resources held there in terms of food, minerals, energy, medicine, transport, tourism, sports, trade and so on. Biotechnological Revolution The exhibits in this gallery will take you to a journey from human gene to cracking of genetic code and to biotechnological applications and emerging trends. We have been using the beneficial aspects of biotechnology in our everyday life. The curd and honey which we eat, the antibiotics, which we use to treat our ailments, and the cereals, which form our staple, diet are all glaring examples of application of biotechnology. Participate in the Bio-Quiz with your friends, view the latest happenings and explore the multimedia to understand the wonders of biotechnology. Being Human The ‘Being Human’ gallery presents a unique and fascinating view of science of social behaviour. Indeed, human mind is an amazing world of mysteries. Understanding human behaviour is a perfect blend of work of the scientists from the world of biology and social psychology. The interactive exhibits & dioramas supported with multimedia kiosks & video displays here, provide in depth information on the interesting features of human mind. Explore the interactive exhibits here and watch yourself. Water: Our Life Rivers bring prosperity to nations. All great civilizations of the world flourished on river valleys. The gallery is a tribute to the greatness of rivers and water. The science, the techniques, the social rituals and above all the close and inseparable link and relation of man with rivers is projected here by means of some hands-on demonstrations and working exhibits. Popular Science The Popular Science Hall of the Centre houses several exhibits which provide not only education but also entertainment. Stand in front of the curved mirrors and see yourself taller or shorter than actual. See how a straight rod passes easily through a curved and twisted hyperbolic path. Get into a Kaleidoscope and count your images. See an infinite tunnel of glowing bulbs in the limited space of the hall. Likewise there are several such exhibits and no one can afford to miss this gallery. Fluidics Fluids do not mean just liquids. They include anything that flows. Fluids are life-giving, life-sustaining elements of the Universe. Solid matter constitutes just a tiny part of whole world whereas the rest is occupied by fluids. The gallery on “Fluidics” depicts interesting properties of air, water, oils and other fluids that we commonly deal with. Several experiences in our daily life are explained here with the demonstrative three-dimensional exhibits. Meri Anokhi Duniya Children naturally have a curious mind. They live in a special world of their own. The gallery is specially designed for the very young ones and is therefore aptly named as Meri Anokhi Duniya- meaning “My Wonderful World”. children is therefore called MERI ANOKHI DUNIYA - meaning "My wonderful world". Children learn by observing nature around them. The concepts of shapes, sizes, touch, colours, and sounds gradually develop in the growing children. Our sensory organs help them in providing the necessary information of the world. The bright, colourful exhibits of the gallery make the perception of the world an enjoyable process. Wonder World of Materials ‘Wonder World of Materials” is newly opened gallery at Regional Science City, Lucknow in which one can get information about the different kind of materials. The “Wonder World of Materials” gallery portrays different fascinating aspects of Material Science namely: fundamentals of material science, polymers and plastics, electronic material, semiconductors and superconducting materials, sensors, world of nanotechnology, structural materials, industrial materials, optics, surface and cold chemistry, explosive materials, functional materials etc. It also showcases how the material science has progressed over the years from ancient era to modern times. It addresses issues like what are natural and manmade materials and how they are classified? Such is the fascinating story of materials that ages also it was discovered that clay could be fired to make pots and this discovery was revolutionary; so was the more recent discovery that clay also contains the substance that runs our computers. Aquamobile A large Aquamobile exhibit right in the entrance of the in the Popular Science Gallery is another interesting exhibit of the Regional Science City. Water flowing through different transparent pipes & channels does spectacular work to demonstrate the principles of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. Watch coloured water that turns turbine wheels, forms a water lens, creates vortex, sets in siphon action and fountains, and performs like virtuoso acrobat in a circus, itself taking myriad shapes in the process. Fun Science The gallery houses exhibits based on various scientific principles and as the name suggest have a fun component. Apart from several interactive exhibits, it also shelters an indigenously designed interesting model called “Aqua-Mobile” which, through flowing water, demonstrates the principles of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics. The water, passing through different transparent pipes and channels, rotates turbine wheels, creates vortex, sets in siphon action, fountains and performs like a virtuoso acrobat in a circus. In the process, it takes myriad shapes. Another exhibit, a string-less piano, which produces sound when a hand is waved in air casts magic on the visitors. Also see how a straight rod easily passes through a curved and twisted hyperbolic path. Get into a kaleidoscope and count your images. See an infinite tunnel of glowing bulbs in the limited space of the hall. See how an illusion makes one’s head kept on a platter. |
