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(展品). 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.
When I visit the Science Museum,
I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics
experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand,
you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go
to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.
Then I go upstairs to Human and
Nature room. You can compare your speed with animals there. You hear a noise
and push a button(按钮). If you aren’t fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m faster than
all my friends, but the lion still catches me.
There are also rooms on
transport, the environment and space technology, as well as maths, physics and
chemistry.
You can do a lot of things in
this museum, but you have to obey some rules as well. For example, you mustn’t
take photos of the exhibits in the museum. But you can buy postcards of them in
the museum shops.
Above all, the Science Museum is
free. That means you can drop in for a few minutes or you can stay as long as
you like—it’s
open every day, from 10 am to 6 pm. So if you ever go to London, make sure you
visit the Science Museum. It’s my favourite museum in the whole world.
