When you think of a museum, I bet you don't think of a place where children run around. But the Science Museum is different. It's noisy!
You can get to the Science Museum by taking the London Underground from Waterloo on the Jubilee line to South Kensington. When you walk out, take a look around you, and you could see it.
What to bring: At least two bottles of drink for the kids and 10 pounds to spend in the cafes. Entrance is free!
The most interesting part of coming here is to go to the kids' area, the Launch Pad on the 3rd floor. At busy times, you may have to wait in line, but the staff will provide science toys for you and the kids to play with. If you like science, it should indulge (满足) you as you will learn about science in a funny way. There are also simulators (模拟装置) on the 3rd floor, so think of Floor 3 as a "fun floor".
If you want to learn about the museum, then go to the ground floor. There are some things which will interest you,
Overall, it's a fun experience for the kids and you may enjoy it too. It's also free to get in!
(自然生态)If you travel in New Zealand, you may find some very interesting things. It is called "New Zealand Four Strange Things".
Have you ever seen that cows are lined up? New Zealand is so large. It is impossible for people to milk cows by hand. So the farmers trained the leading cow to take the cows to the milking station twice a day. The leading cow has a sensor(传感器)on its head. When it is time for milking, the sensor warns the leading cow to take the lead. |
Horses are mainly raised for viewing(观赏)and racing, so the coat color is very important. Wearing sunscreen(防晒)clothes on horses can avoid the harm from the sun. The clothes on horses are filled with weights that are the same weight of the rider. When the weights are replaced by the rider during the race, "the horses will be used to running with weights" just like the sportsman running with sandbags. |
Sheep in New Zealand used to have tails. Because they poop(排便)when they're born, grass flies are interested in them. Grass flies lay their eggs in the tails of the baby sheep, causing illness and death. Then people tie their tails. As time passes, the sheep become tailless. This improves the survival rate(成活率). |
New Zealand's alpacas(羊驼)were introduced from South America. They are quite different from two-humped camels(双峰驼). An alpaca weighs about 55 kg to 65 kg. Its shape is like a sheep. Only one grown-up male(雄性)alpaca can be found in each group. It is the leading one. Alpacas are gentle, clever and human. |
