With over 500 interactive displays, the Museum of Science in Boston has plenty of activities to keep you and any guests you bring occupied for hours. One of the goals of the museum is to encourage visitors to "think like a scientist." And think you will. Established in 1830, the museum has a long history of research and display of the incredible things the founders and others around the world have discovered about science and its affect on us. It is so fun to play with science! The MOS features many interactive programs, but with so little webspace, just a few of the exhibits are described below: Messages - interacting with the use of music, language and smell as forms of communication. Investigate! - here you get to think like a scientist, with all sorts of tools and materials to investigate your own theories. Making Models - models help us to see larger images on a smaller scale, and smaller images on a larger scale so we can understand things better. This scientific tool is addressed through mental models, the computer and games. A science museum wouldn't be complete without paying some attention to the abounding animal life. Check out these: The Birds and the Bees - every specimen of bird in the New England area and a huge display of bees doing their daily work. Dinosaurs: Modeling the Mesozoic - a life-size Tyrannosaurus Rex holds court over the hundreds of fossils, footprints and even dinosaur dung (blech!) where you can play with dinosaur models - in hand and on the computer. Live Animal Exhibit - through a glass wall, view a few of the more than 100 animals of over 50 species that are studied at the museum. Besides all the animal displays in the museum are exhibits describing and exploring the human race. "How Your Life Began" shows the amazing growth of each human from a single cell, "The Human Body Connection" connects the world around you to your specific genes, and "Human Evolution" describes the theory of evolution and the way humans have adapted and changed over thousands and thousands of years. Just a few more titles of the exhibits to get your attention are Catching the Wind, Mythic Creatures, Playing by the Rules, Seeing Is Believing, The Colby Gun and Trophy Room, Beyond the X-ray and Goose Bumps: The Science of Fear. Make a point to leave the comfort of your Boston apartment soon, and visit the Museum of Science, Boston.
