The Science Museum of London is one part of the trifecta which forms one of the most prestigious museum centres in the United Kingdom. Falling under the auspices of the National Museum of Science and Industry, the Science Museum is located on the Exhibition Road of South Kensington and shares the limelight with its sister institutions the Victoria and Albert Museums in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
Encompassing seven floors, the Science Museum invites you on a journey of discovery. Its interactive galleries take you through an exploration of the history of technology, its evolution to the modern-day and the visions of the future of mankind.
The museum was originally conceived as part of the South Kensington Museum in 1857 with items left over from the Great Exhibition that was an epoch-marking event in the Victorian era. These items included among its ranks some of the early prototype machinery such as the oldest surviving steam train, a functional model of the Babbage Difference Engine, the first-ever jet engine, documents from the early experiments for a typewriter and the prototype of the Clock of Long Now. These later formed the Museum of Patents and were shifted the Science Collections of the South Kensington Museum.
It was in 1909 that the exhibits of the Science Collections became so extensive that it was declared a museum in its own right and appointed its own director. This was to be the first incarnation of the institution that stands today, whose present buildings were opened to the public in the latter days of the 1920s.
Today, the Museum's collection comprises over 300,000 items, the most renowned of which pertain to medical science and related fields. These are largely concentrated on the fourth floor, which is devoted to reconstructive performances on the history of medical practice, and the fifth floor, which investigates the modus operandi and instruments of ancient doctors from across the world's cultures. The newly-established wing named in honor of pharmaceutical entrepreneur Henry Wellcome is one of the leading centres of contemporary bio-science in the world.
The Science Museum houses a library which functioned as the National Library for Science, Medicine and Technology until the 1960s and still claims membership with the London Museums of Health and Medicine. Its medical collection is widely acknowledged to be among the best in the world. The ground floor, named the Launch pad, is devoted to the subject of Space Exploration and also offers a visual reconstruction of the Industrial Revolution. Here, over 50 exhibits showcase invaluable relics such as some of the last remaining steam locomotives.
The consecutive levels expounds on subjects such as food, metals, communication and energy generation, including a fascinating discourse on nuclear power. The third floor is an intriguing visual narrative of photography as well a "Flight" gallery whi ch features full-size historic aircraft on display. "Making the Modern World" is yet another new and popular gallery that is a veritable trophy case of man's scientific achievements, which includes Apollo spacecraft and Stephenson's Rocket.
One of the aspects that makes this institution a favourite of both adults and children is the way complex concepts are explained in layman's terms, allowing the public to comprehend the wonder and extent of modern scientific discoveries. The in-house IMAX Theater which plays 2D and 3D documentaries for visitors is one of the features that most ably assist in this endeavor, as do the "Explainers" on staff and the live experiments and dramatizations conducted for the benefit of visiting school children. Of late the museum's touring exhibitions on contemporary science have also garnered worldwide interest and
Recommend The Science Museum - A World-Renowned Storehouse of Wonder and Discovery IssuesQuestion by : What exactly is computer science and how would you get into it? I'm 14 and I would like to get into computer science but all I know about is that Computer science is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems. It is frequently described as the systematic study of algorithmic processes that create. I got this of a website. What in school should I focus on mostly and is it as hard as I have heard on websites Best answer for What exactly is computer science and how would you get into it?:
Answer by Chris M
I definitely applaud your interest. Computer Science is a very very broad field and is usually specialized. That is, when someone gets a degree in it, it's very rarely if ever just Computer Science (In my case I'm studying for Computer Science: Computer Network Systems). As far as classes in high school that I can recommend, it does often depend on what you want to do. The important ones are math and technology courses. I would strongly recommend talking to your guidance counselor and seeing if they have any specific computer programs, though those vary quite a bit from school to school. As far as further studying, one thing you can train for right now that would give you a huge leg up is certifications. While you'll have to convince your parents as the tests costs money, you can find the books at any major book store. My recommendation would be to study for the CompTIA A+ Certification, even if you don't try and get it, the information you learn from the material will give you a strong foundation towards understanding computer technology. As far as difficulty goes, that depends a great deal on the individual. What I find makes the most difference is enthusiasm. The people who have it the easiest are the ones who love working with computers... mostly because they figure out how to do something for themselves long before any teacher can get to it. If you don't really love it, it can get very difficult... especially with the others who are blazing ahead because they do it for fun in their free time. The books to pick up are pretty straightforward and there are plenty of easy ones to read ( http://www.amazon.com/CompTIA-Certification-All-One-Dummies/dp/0470487380/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280664353&sr=8-9 ). If you want to get into programming, there are of course other options. If you want to get into that, I would recommend finding a book on Visual Basic (while I don't recommend it in the long run, Basic is an easier language to start with than many others). What will help you the most is that Microsoft provides a limited version of the development environment for it for free called Visual Basic Express ( http://www.microsoft.com/express/windows/ ). However, I would recommend for the best results to pick up a book focusing on the correct version (in this case, find one that says Visual Basic *2010* ). Lastly, you can start following various tech news and there are a lot of great ways to do that. My personal recommendation for a fun way to dive into it is to start watching shows dedicated to it. I actually visit one site regularly that hosts full shows of their own (completely legal! they produce the content themselves.) called Revision3 ( http://www.revision3.com ). I would recommend starting with Tekzilla and GeekBeat.TV on there. If you want to dive into the deep end (and either worry your parents to death or make them really proud) start watching HAK5 (the show is dedicated to computer hacking). I think that if you start into the things I suggested, it will give you a good groundwork to figure out what specifically you want to do. On top of that, it's low risk, for the price of just a book or two, you'll be finding out if you really want to do this kind of work or not. Good Luck!

with a logical mind as you seem to have it's simple other than maybe statistics. in public school there is not much that will help focus mainly on math and English. one thing that can help you look up a college near you get the catalog look up their computer science degrees and look at what the classes entail. computer science is basically 3 parts Computer setup and repair both hardware, and software. Networking both wired and wireless in many configurations. programming it takes a lot of statistics and trig with a lot of syntax. I would start with reading manuals and support pages for devices you have and windows play around with settings and see what comes up on devices like routers and stuff that can be easily reset. read A+ certification materials C++, html, and java/java script languages. I like it mainly because you can never know it all and there is always more to learn but, a little knowledge will take you a long way.
