The Natural World is amazing! Learn about your favourite animals here. Go to the

Dinosaur Gallery – there are 35 giant models of dinosaur skeletons. The most famous dinosaur is called Dippy, he is 32 metres long. In the Life Gallery there is a real skeleton of a blue whale. And you must visit the Darwin Centre. Real scientists work here. It’s got 20 million types of insects and plants from around the world. Finally, go outside, you can see lots of trees, fl owers and animals in the beautiful

Wildlife Garden, all in the centre of London!

you like computers and space travel? Yes? Then the Science Museum is for you. You can fi nd out all about these inventions, touch them and meet scientists who work with them.

You can see real rockets and satellites and learn

about how astronauts live in Space! But we think

the best thing is the IMAX 3D Cinema. It shows cool 3D fi lms of

dinosaurs, prehistoric sea monsters and life on a space station! Finally, you can

take science home with you. How? The Science Museum sells a popular computer game called Launchball. Play and learn at the same time!
