To better understand nature, the exhibition hall(first floor, 1280) displays approximately 500 exhibits. The purpose of the display is to give information about the natural sciences, which are divided into earth science, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and others. In the earth science section, an experimental apparatus of dislocation and a meteorological satellite model are displayed in order to enable greater understanding of phenomenas and charcteristics of earth. To promote mathematical understanding, the Mobius Strip and the history of number are included in the mathematics section. Laser holography, gyro experiment and Foucault's pendulum are exhibited in the Physics corner in order to present physical phenomenas.

Foucault's Pendulum
This pendulum was used for verifing the earth's rotation around its axis. The original pendulum consisted of a 67m steel wire which was connected to the ceiling of a Pantheon temple. The above display utilizes a , 19m long wire with 110kg weight to simulate the original model. This pendulum takes 40.48 hours for one revolution. |
