Timescape- Unearthing the Mysteries of Time

This Science Centre exhibition celebrates the millennium by giving a whole new perspective on time. Visitors enter a gigantic time warp; digging through the sands of centuries, unearthing a now-extinct creature and travelling in a time machine through 8,000 years of history.

SciencExpress - Outbreak: New Disease Dangers

Infectious diseases are, and always have been, a leading cause &death. Behind every infectious disease is a microbe - one of the billions of bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites that live on us all. Visitors find out where these disease-causing microbes live, how people get them, and what can (and can't) be done about them. This is the latest exhibition in SciencExpress series.

A Question of Truth

Bias. Racism. Sexism. How have they affected scientific practice through history? A Question of Truth comes to grips with that question while exploring the science and technology of many cultures. This new exhibition helps visitors discover the validity of different points of view in science.

Information Highway

This hall connects visitors with the latest information technology. They can surf the Internet, test drive the latest CD ROMs, experiment with multimedia hardware and now young computer experts have their own special area – kids-play.

Human Body

Visitors can catch a criminal using DNA fingerprinting, listen to a heart murmur, or discover the story behind a 1300 year-old skeleton in this hall, which also features exhibits on reproduction, contraception and immunology.

The Living Earth

Dramatic living environments - from a teeming coral reef to a lush tropical rain forest -are the highlights of this hall, which looks at the delicately balanced, ever changing nature of our planet.

Space

Exhibits here explore the frontiers beyond Earth. Visitors can use a planet's gravity to "slingshot" a probe into deep space, manoeuvre a rocket chair or see the "space junk" in orbit overhead.

Sport

A took into the science behind the games people play, the Sport hail lets visitors try their hand at exhibits which include wheelchair racing, rock climbing and big-league baseball pitching.

Communication

This hall examines the science of human nature, from memory and intelligence to our willingness to submit to authority. Visitors can also communicate via a pair of "whisper dishes" 37 m apart.

Food

From choosing a meal to meeting the parasites that make a meal of us, visitors to this hall can explore the phenomena behind that old phrase, "you are what you eat".

Earth

A working weather station, a gigantic silver nugget and a seismograph that lets visitors create their own mini-earthquake are just a few of the exhibits which explore the science of the physical world.

Technology/Transportation

The structures, vehicles and tools that people make and use are featured in exhibits ranging from a "bionic woman" sporting 20 different prosthetic devices to a life-size cantilever bridge and a working model of the world's first steam engine.

Matter, Energy, Change

Visitors can watch a television submerged in liquid fluorocarbon, see themselves in infrared and play games with oil and water in this hall devoted to chemistry and the structure of matter.

Science Arcade

The clanking, whirling, flashing exhibits of the Arcade form a playground for the mind and senses, exploring phenomena from gravity and fluid mechanics to synthesized music and optical illusions.
