Science People Learn Museums Eslpod Interact Outer Exhibits

The United States has many "science museums" (places where people can go to learn about science and interact with experiments), and many of them are "famous" (well known to many people) for their "impressive" (causing people to admire something) "exhibits" (displays and other objects that people can view and interact with, especially with some shared theme or idea).

The National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC, has many important airplanes, rockets, "spacesuits" (protective clothing worn by "astronauts" (people who fly into outer space)), and "moon rocks" (rocks brought from the moon back to Earth). It also has many exhibits about the "mechanics" (how something works) of flight and "space exploration" (efforts to travel to and understand other parts of outer space).

The Exploratorium in San Francisco, California, has a "Tactile Dome," which is a completely "dark" (without light) exhibit in which visitors must learn to "see" by using their sense of "touch" (feeling things with one's hands). And the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, California, allows visitors to become technology inventors as they learn about digital music, and "virtual world technology" (tools that make people think they are experiencing another reality).

Many science museums have special exhibits for children, and some science museums are "entirely" (completely; 100%) for children. The Hands-On! Regional Museum in Johnson City, Tennessee, for example, lets children conduct experiments and learn through "hands-on" (using one's hands to move or handle objects, not watching other people do it) activities. And the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, teaches children about science through storytelling and "superheroes" (fictional characters with special powers).
