Construction at the Science Museum

Author: Valerie

Today we visited the new Health Investigations area at NCMLS as part of the museum’s Super Science Saturday. We did a mini-experiment which demonstrated that our reaction time is much slower when we are distracted by something (in this case, a cell phone). This new area replaces one of the oldest areas in the museum–the physics and body area upstairs. Remember the squishing blood pump showing plaque’d and healthy arteries?

Here’s another area under construction. This is Small Science, which is temporarily moved to the bones and fish area while the new features are being built. It will be bigger, but we see the two towers will still be there.
