446: An exhibit that peeks into a Chinese factory of the type that makes so many of our consumer and electronic products.

446


447: This exhibit gives as an opportunity to see if we can balance containers on a cargo ship without tipping it over. It is not easy. The containers do not all have the same weight. It is easier to understand now why Disasters At Sea has so many episodes!

447


448: In this exhibit, turning a handle (not shown) generates electricity that performs electrolysis on the water to separate the hydrogen and oxygen gases. When enough gases are generated, a countdown begins and then a spark ignites the gases and sends the rocket surprisingly high. Kids were not the only ones that loved this exhibit.

448


449: This exhibit demonstrates how solar panels work. A button turns on the floodlight pointed at the panels.

449


450: Then the needle on this meter moves ever so slightly up, proving that the panels generated electricity.

450


451: This group of exhibits shows various methods used to extract American, North Sea and Arabian oil, and the viscosity of the crude produced. I notice that the Americans use unnamed chemicals to frack out their oil, and produce a more viscous product.

451


452: How you can feel the viscosity for yourself.

452


453: This is perhaps the most uniquely Danish exhibits. Two visitors put on headbands with electrodes. The panel explains how it measures alpha and theta brain waves. Then the two contestants compete to see who can be the most focused and relaxed as measured in the panel below.

453


454: I wonder if I would have performed differently before I quit my job?

454


455: An exhibit about a genuine controversy over the use of science, specifically whether Denmark (or anyone) should make a DNA database of the public. The exhibit thoughtfully presents the opposing views of two white men.

455


456

456


457: Hmm. Anyone know where all the organs go?

457


458: Laura uses the microscope camera.

458


459: Up close, it seems to show blue fabric. I always knew that Laura was knitted together well.

459


460: This exhibit thoughtfully and playfully demonstrates the different roles played in the immune system by macrophages (that generally seek to eat up viruses) and t-cells (that identify invasive microbes and launch a more targetted immune response. In this cel, a virus has just entered a cell and begun to convert it into a virus factory.

460


461: This exhibit measures how high you can jump.

461


462: I did not make the cut.

462


463: Laura is measuring her endurance.

463


464: This exhibit is for teams to measure their stretching.

464


465: This one tests a teams ability to turn household chores into dances.

465


466: For anyone who thought I left the ratrace, I regret to show you this.

466


467

467


468: We had to collect these balls into a wheelbarrow, move them into the starting trough and then pedal to turn the conveyor to move the balls to the top.

468


469: Then the balls roll down this.

469


470: Bubbles!

470


471: Connect gears while watching Modern Times with Charlie Chaplin.

471


472

472


473: This suitcase has a gyroscope inside, making it harder to turn when it is spinning.

473


474: This exhibit shows how a safety jacket improves one's visibility on low light levels.

474


475: The photo in the right side of this panel shows how an ability to balance weight is important for marine safety.

475


476: Here is what we can balance on.

476


477: This exhibit demonstrates the importance of paying attention and avoiding distractions while driving. Missing from this exhibit is any ability to slow down. Do not attempt the brainwave competition after trying this driving exhibit!

477


478: Would you like to test your ability to come up with new ideas? We would if we could figure out how.

478


479: Roof top exhibits and play areas.

479


480: Rooftop view

480


481: The spiral stairs.
