2. Read the passage and answer the questions.

The science museum in LondonThe most unusual museum in London is the Science Museum. In most museums, there’s no shouting and no running, and you aren’t allowed to touch the exhibits. But the Science Museum is different…because it’s noisy! People talk about what they can see and do there, and some of the machines are noisy as well. Visiting the Science Museum is fun and it’s a great way to learn about science because you can work things out and try out ideas.

When I visit the Science Museum, I go to the Launch Pad. This is my favourite room because you can do physics experiments. For example, if you want to fill a bag with falling sand, you have to move a kind of truck on wheels into the correct position. I also go to the Rocket Show. You can learn how we travel into space and back again.

Then I go upstairs to the Human and

Nature room. You can compare your

speed with animals there. You hear a

noise and push a button. If you aren’t

fast enough, the lion catches you! I’m

faster than all my friends, but the lion

still catches me.

There are also rooms on transport, th

e environment and space technology,

as well as maths, physics and chemist

ry.

You can do a lot of things in this

museum, but you have to obey some

rules as well. For example, you mustn’t

take photos of the exhibits in the

museum. But you can buy postcards of

them in the museum shops.

Above all, the Science Museum is free. T

hat means you can drop in for a few min

utes or you can stay as long as you lik

e----it’s open every day, from 10am to 6p

m. So if you ever go to London, make su

re you visit the Science Museum. It’s my

favourite museum in the whole world.

sciences and all branches of engineering.
