The conservation of forest and wild life is a prime
goal of every citizen. The section on forest represents the importance of
forest, wild life and their symbiotic relationship with human beings. Why the
trees are important?
What is a balanced diet? How this could be applied to maintain sound health?
Water, though a major resource on earth, has to be properly managed for drinking
and other uses. The water readily available needs to be purified before human
consumption. Water is also the carrier of various germ-causing diseases. What
are the water borne diseases (in the tribal areas of Dharampur) and how to
control them? How does a germ look like in water drops?
What are the stages of development of human foetus till the birth? Exposition of
these facts by participatory games is quite fascinating.
How far or closer you can see? Do you see all colours or only few? Human hearing
range is from 20-20,000 Hz. What is your hearing range? You can fest it here
very well.
This gallery houses - 22 exhibits. |

| Perception |
|
| |
Perception is the understanding of the world through
constant interaction of the brain with the sense organs. The early experiences,
learning emotions and motivations are important in defining what and how we
perceive the world in our life. The information gathered by our sense organs
from the surroundings is processed by the brain thereby giving a clear
understanding of the world.
In this process we experience colours, tastes, sounds and make variety of
observations as we grow up. Science provides immense opportunities for the
children to satisfy their curiosity and add to their experience and make them
more ingenious to interact with the surroundings.
Touching one object and many objects at a time give different experience
altogether, as brain always relies on previous experiences. Texture, sharpness,
hot and cold, all are touch experiences. In nature, we come across an enormous
variety of shapes and sizes both regular and irregular. But many are
combinations of unique lines, triangles, curves or circles.
Pin Screen provides a peculiar experience-explore and get excited. Why do we
have two eyes? Two eyes give us the perception of depth. When two objects
slightly apart are viewed with one eye, provide similar experience?
Make a soap film as big as you can. Why the film stays between the guide ropes
when bar is lifted from soap solution and the film breaks when you blow air?
Colour is the most fascinating perception but how colour shadows are formed?
How coloured lights could bleach colours?
This gallery houses 38 exhibits. |

| Children Science Park
|
|
| |
Almost every child has visited a public park or a
garden. But the Children Science Park of District Science Centre has some
unique features, which provide the child altogether a different experience
through 50 hands on exhibits.
Swings and seesaws are common in a park. When the swing length is made longer,
the swing oscillates slower.
Similarly the off-centred seesaw fulcrum can balance lopsided loads. There are
many such exhibits to provide a motivating experience. Science Park exhibits
are built with the elements of fun and play. Understanding basic principles of
science becomes very fascinating with these exhibits.
The Life Science Corner of the Park provides an opportunity to inculcate the
spirit of love for the animals in children and also handling and observing them
from close quarters. The Park is developed within the green environment of
varied plants, trees, shrubs and flowers so as to make an open-air laboratory
situation without any bounds. |
