in search of science

Had a fabulous day in search of science in London ...







different viewpoints as we head down to the tube underground tunnel ... always intriques me how much sciwnce one encounters in daily activities if we take one slow breath and time to notice..







yep ... this is comfy







as we arrived at the Science Museum we stumbled straight into a lecture about a black hole ..





.. followed by exploration in the future science pods







... an interactive display .. cause and effect when dancing with light bubbles






.. we have been intriqued by microscopes so went in search of some early models ...






... taking time to sketch some observations..






there is a brilliant " Science of the 18 th century " section that had some fabulous microscopes on display







... followed up with the Histiry of Medicine on the 5th floor .. ahh I am right at hime in the microbiology section ... having studied and worked in a laboratory in my youth .. grin






a look at cell structure and histology as well as the preparation of microscopy slides ..







some fabulous specimen of microscopy slides from the victorian times ..







finished off with some hands on experiment fun at the launchpad ...












a fun day all around ..
