The Museum of Science in Boston in one of the best place learn various things about about history, the way some discoveries were made, application of physics and learn how scientists think.

Four out tour, we had the pleasure to see some exhibits:

Investigate:

This exhibit was about learning how scientists think and what they do. We learn that scientist are curious and in every aspect of their lives the think the same way, always trying to achieve their goal and going the extra mile for what the believe in.

They always want to learn why things happen the way they do. We got to see why when draining water it flow the way it does. It is because of the rotation of the water if the water is not moving before you drain it it will just get drain but if the water is moving in a specific direction, it will drain in that direction.

 

 

Conserve At Home:

We also learn that recycling garbage means we have waste less space.

 

Catching the Wind :

 

We learn how much power can be provided using wind and the different type of wind turbine exists, there limitation and efficiency.

We learn that wind is created from the difference in temperature of air molecules that had been heated by the sum, hot air moves upward and cool air takes it place creating wind.

The different type of turbines we saw were:

The best turbine for me is the AVX1000, even though individual turbine do not produce a lot of electricity, the group of them at a certain location can provide steady electricity.

 

Energized:

We got to learn that to be able to satisfy our need of energy we must explore all methods available to us, meaning renewable ( wind, solar, geothermal) and non-renewable source of energy (fossil fuel).
