The Science Museum

Today was another class day, but instead of lecture we went to the Science Museum. Before heading to the Museum, we went to the basement for breakfast with the rest of our classmates. From there we all walked to the tube station. Once at the Science Museum we went to the exhibit called, “Who am I?” to complete an activity that will later tie into a paper we have to write. The exhibit addressed a lot of things relating to psychology, and specifically the class we are taking here. We looked at why people are afraid of certain things, individual genetic makeup, memory, hand prints, and personalities. It was a very neat exhibit. After we were dismissed, we decided to stay at the museum to explore the other 4 floors. It was a maze of a museum, but we saw some pretty cool exhibits. Some of our favorites being the space exhibit, the future exhibit, the flying exhibit, and the materials exhibit. After exploring the rest of the museum for a bit, we hopped back on the tube to head back to the flats.

Once home, we made lunch, worked on our paper, and relaxed for a while. At 5:30 we went back to the basement to attend a presentation on “Brexit” and were served cheese, other snack foods, and wine. The presentation explained the future of the UK since it is scheduled to leave the EU (they have been trying for some time to leave so who knows when it will actually happen). We then came home to pack for our trip to Liverpool this weekend. Overall, this was the most chill day we have had here, but it was still a lot of fun! -SYD & SAM

This is a sign from the Who Am I? exhibit.
This is a spacecraft that is covered with a plastic-based heat shield made up of 400,000 honeycomb cells. Each cell was injected by hand. If you look really close you can see the honeycomb pattern!
Me next the worlds tallest tire or “tyre” as they spell it in the UK.
This is a glass car with a bed in it. This demonstrates that in the future cars will be self-driving and so safe they can be made of glass.
Me next to one of the cooler planes we saw.
This is a sculpture made from many different materials that have been recycled.
Just a cool mirror.
Our cheese platters, wine, and flags we got at the Brexit lecture!
