Introduction

The regional science centre Bhopal was opened on 12^th January 1995 by the then president of India late Shankar Dayal Sharma. This center is one of the 25 constitute units of National Council of Science Museum(NCSM) which is an autonomous science organization under the ministry of culture, Govt. of India, engaged in popularizing Science and Technology amongst student in particular and the masses in General, through a wide range of activities and interactive programs.

The Centre has over 266 science exhibits spanning across a wide range of scientific disciplines. Most of the exhibits are interactive. The 5-acre RSCB campus includes a 3-acre Science Park, which contains over 60 exhibits such as pulley demonstrations, a windmill and solar-powered devices. The campus also houses a small Dinosaur Park and a zoo.

The RSCB is open on all days, including weekends, except on Holi and Diwali. The visitor timings are from 10.30 am to 6pm. As of 1 April 2012, the entry fees is  5 for visitors who are part of a student group, and  10 for everybody else. There are extra charges for special shows such as the 3D Film Show (10 per person) and the Taramandal Show (introduction to astronomy,  2 per person).

The Centre has a 200-seater auditorium and a 25-seater conference hall (both air conditioned). These are also available to the external groups for organizing relevant events, at a small charge. There is also a 50-seater AC hall, where the 3D Science Show is organized. RSCB has a small portable planetarium with an inflatable dome, with a capacity of 25 people.

RSCB also has a Mobile Science Exhibition bus with 24 exhibits. This bus goes to the small towns and remote villages of Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh for creating scientific awareness through anti-superstition demonstrations, science-related films, sky observation and educational lectures.

• Models to understand our Atmosphere

scanning electron microscope

The Atmosphere is the mixture of gasses like nitrogen, Oxygen, hydrogen, helium, krypton, xenon etc. It’s also having a layer of Ozone which protects our life from unwanted radiations and UV rays and water vapors.

Here are many models that can tell all facts with fun; it’s very interesting to understand how our atmosphere works? , what’s it have? How it old? What are future of atmosphere and much more?

A visit to this gallery will also help you to understand the cycles of atmosphere, air as cushion, the power of air, resistance air pollution, ozone depletion, atmosphere and setup of a weather station.

•      Models to understand energy

Life of earth is driven by energy. Every action of any kinds needs energy to make it happen, sun is the primary source of energy in earth, it’s produced 77 billion megatons of energy every second.

  The exhibit “Sun the source of all energies” dwells into the fascinating energy facts of sun.

Science park

A series of interactive exhibits explain different forms of energy conversions, they also explains how energy is harnessed from the vast electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma to Radio rays emitted by sun. Interact with a working model of nuclear reactor and a hydroelectric turbine here. Explore how electricity is generated, transmitted and distributed to us.

•  Science park

Besides the indoor galleries, Science Centre is having a unique Science Park spread on a lush green land of 3 acres, which contains more than 60 nos. of interactive fun-filled working exhibits. Visitors while playing with them learn various scientific principles.

Pendulum waves are simply a series of pendulums that are pulled back, then released at some angle(s). If the lengths and angles are just right, then each pendulum will cycle back and forth between its release position at a slightly different frequency than its neighbor. This results in some pretty neat alternating waveforms. Wave pendulums make great desktop toys for your rich dads, and have even been known to keep children quiet for up to 60 seconds. In addition, the can make nice props in classroom settings for illustrating physics principles such as potential and kinetic energy, air resistance, aliasing, and more.
