Fun Science

A total of 51 exhibits in these galleries give ample information that are memorable for the visitors.
The exhibits placed in this gallery give hands on experience to the students and general visitors to study various laws and principles of science in an enjoyable way.  How the joints in our body move to enable smooth movements? Why we see infinite images of an object? and many more queries can be solved by visiting these halls.

The Umbrella

What is Earth? It is a huge sphere of rocks & soil covered with water and surrounded by air. The atmosphere surrounds the Earth and is very much a part of it. The atmosphere is a mixture of gases. It comprises Nitrogen which makes almost four-fifth of it and Oxygen-a little more than one-fifth. The other gases are present in small quantities. All the constituents of atmosphere have their own importance in supporting & protecting life on the Earth. It helps in burning, breathing & absorbing the harmful radiations from outer space. There would be no life on Earth without the atmosphere. The envelope of atmosphere surrounds the Earth & extends to 1600 km above the surface. We can surely call this envelope as 'Umbrella'. This gallery highlights the importance of atmosphere for the exhistance of life on the Earth & making this planet unique in the universe. The exhibits give you an idea about the structure & variation of atmosphere with height, the atmospheric pressure, the composition of air, the gas laws, the application of air pressure in our day-to-day life, concept & transportation of air pressure etc. The hands-on exhibits on aerofoil, sucking funnel, air machines, air brakes, gliding rider etc. will make visitors understand the applications of air pressure in flight, industries, hovercraft etc.

New gallery The Energy

Life on Earth is driven by energy. Plants & animals harness energy from nature. Energy comes from different sources which are broadly classified as renewable & non-renewable. Hall of energy is aimed at educating the public and students anout different forms of energy viz. mechanical, electrical, heat, light, magnetic, sound & chemical. It also gives information about their production & practical applications, environmental issues, world energy reserves, future possible sources of energy etc. through interactive exhibits.
