The science museum in London

The most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different…because it’s noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.

In what way is the Science Museum different from other museums?

When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the

Launch Pat. This is my favourite room because yo

u can do physics experiments. For example, if you

want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to m

ove a kind of truck on wheels into the correct posi

tion. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn

how we travel into space and back again.

Where does Tony go when he visits the Science Museum?

Then I go upstairs to the Human and

Nature room. You can compare your speed with

animals there. You hear a noise and push a

button. If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches

you! I’m faster than all my friends, but the lion

still catches me.

What else is there to see in the Science Museum?

There are also rooms on transport, the environme

nt and space technology, as well as maths, physics

and chemistry.

What kind of things you mustn’t do?

You can do a lot of things in this museum, b

ut you have to obey some rules as well. For exam

ple, you mustn’t take photos of the exhibits in the

museum. But you can buy postcards of them in t

he museum shops.

Above all, the Science Museum is free. That

means you can drop in for a few minutes or you c

an stay as long as you like —it’s open every day, f

rom 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. . So if you ever go to Londo

n, make sure you visit the Science Museum. It’s m

y favourite museum in the whole world.
