Popular Science
 

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.
