Day 6: California ScienCenter

Day 6 ScienCenter Photos | Introduction to Exchange

The California ScienCenter is a hands-on museum for science and technology. The group toured the "World of Life" and "Magic" areas of the museum, and then everyone got to try the Gravity Bike.

In the World of Life, there is a 50-foot body simulator which shows how the body's organs work together. There are many microscopes in the cell lab, which need no translation.

In the Magic section of the museum, many of the most popular magic tricks were explained. Everyone saw a decaptitated head and a floating chair in action.

The favorite, however, was probably the high-wire gravity bicycle. The bicycle goes across on a high-tension wire, and tipping over is no problem.
