We spent today at the Taipei Science Museum. Exhausting, but a lot of fun! Click for larger versions.





They had a nice genetics exhibit.


This is a Galton board or quincunx. It also makes music! The nail lengths vary across the board, so as the balls fall they generate harmonies. The board rotates but is attached to a parabolic (black) backing that amplifies the sound. Max really liked it!

The kids are often as interested in the museum store as in the museum :-)
