| The NY
Hall of Science is a place for fun and learning. "Gosh,
a place after my own heart!" Their education,
public programs and science departments offer insight to the
wonders of science - for students, teachers and the general
public. Heck, they even have After-School Science Clubs for
kids as well as Parent/Child programs.
The NY Hall of Science has over 225 hands-on exhibits. Just
some of these are: the Marvelous Molecule (which takes on
into the world of molecular study); the Technology Gallery,
a high tech exhibit and trip into cyberspace; the Pfizer Foundation
Biochemistry Discovery Lab, the first hands-on lab in the
world that is open to the public and devoted entirely to biochemistry;
Hidden Kingdoms--The World of Microbes, focusing on microorganisms
and allowing one to view the world's largest collection of
the world's smallest living creatures.
Along with the above mentioned exhibits are others which
delve into the senses and energies of light, sound and more.
There's even an electronic exhibit on and about AIDS.
So if you're in the area, then definitely pay it a visit!...Enjoy!
