Oh the places you'll go!


Oh the places you'll go! The Museum of Science has some great exhibits for us to check out (thanks Annie).

The first one we should go see is CATCHING THE WIND. This exhibit is on wind as an alternative energy source. An example of how science could "save us."

Another exhibit is called THE FRONTIERS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY "Throughout history, we have been breeding crops and animals to our advantage and harnessing microorganisms to make bread, cheese, and wine. Now, armed with an ever-growing knowledge of the processes of life, we're curing diseases, creating new drugs, and genetically modifying foods."

SUN POWER "Sunlight is the world' s largest energy resource, and more energy in the form of sunlight reaches Earth every hour than humans consume in a year. In this exhibit, visitors can learn how we can make use of all of this energy."

It would also be great to speak with someone who works at the museum for more background information.
