Hall of Science is a big open laboratory, where visitors are involved in hands-on exhibits and learn science though a discovery process. They move through different enclaves on light, vision, mirrors, kinematics, mathematics, sound, energy and put their hands-on interactive exhibits.
Hall of Science urges visitors to touch and operate the exhibits and explore fascinating science behind it.
Interactive exhibits demonstrate how our eyes receive inverted image on the retina, how the pupil controls light on the retina, response of rods and cones for peripheral vision and colour sensing. Light, eyes and brain all three are equally responsible for vision. The exhibits also explain what happens if anyone these three requirements malfunction.
In this enclave, with interactive self-learning exhibits visitors understand how one form of energy is transformed to another.
Mirrors usually reflect the images. But what about the mirrors which distort or reverse the image? But then there are half mirrors that combine two images into one and create an illusion. There is a virtual image where you see a rose but can never catch it. And of course, a big mirror maze wherein you almost get lost in multiple reflection. It's a magic world with mirrors doing all the tricks.
Mathematics area has exhibits on ellipse, hyperbola, mobius curve and highlights the importance of mathematics in daily life.
Sound exhibit area covers all the scientific principles related to sound and its interference. Visitors understand the working of Siren and create your own music in an electronic organ.
A motion simulator, in Hall of Space, takes the visitors to a journey through the solar system exploring each planet and an thrilling encounter with a black hole and landing on Mars. After the thrill of landing on mars an event simulator takes the visitors inside a Mars capsule wherein they perform experiments which one day the scientists will perform on the Martian soil in search of some form of life.
Are we alone a in this vast Universe? A seven-screen panoramic projection answers this big question. The projection analyses the prerequisites of life and explain how recent space probes have drawn a blank on other planets and satellites in the solar system. It goes on analyzing the possibilities of finding life in outer space in the Milky Way or in other galaxies.
