Review of a Science Museum
(1) As someone who was never any good
(2) at science while at school, I was tempted
to give the National Science Museum a
(3) miss when my friends suggested
(4) going. I’d always felt that physics and
maths were too complicated for me, and wondered what
– (5)
if anything – I would find
(6) of interest at the museum. As it turned
(7) out, there was more than
(8) enough to engage me.
With six floors of interactive and
educational
(9) exhibits, this museum will fascinate people of
all ages. It covers everything from early technology to space travel. You don’t
have to have any knowledge of science to appreciate the exhibits, which is
(10) what makes it
(11) so thoroughly enjoyable. And if you want
to learn a little more, the interactive screens dotted
(12) around the galleries provide loads of
interesting facts.
Walking through the museum, I was
totally enthralled
(13) by everything I saw, but the highlight
for me was ‘Man in Space’,
(14) which traces the history of our earliest space
exploration. This was the time
(15) when Russia and the USA were locked in a
race to be the first to enter space. The exhibition features real rockets and satellites,
plus a full-size replica of the lander
(16) that took Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to
the moon in 1969. When you see
(17) how small it was, you really appreciate the
courage of the astronauts who travelled in it.
The great thing about the museum is that it approaches science
from the perspective of the average person. The explanations are in language
that anyone can understand, and this
(18) makes a visit very worthwhile. Just make sure you go during the
week as it gets pretty crowded at the weekend.
The National Science Museum is
extraordinary and incredibly engaging. So don’t be put
(19) off by the notion that science is ‘too
hard’ or ‘too boring’. Do yourself a
(20) favour and go along as soon as you can. You
won’t be disappointed!
