When I got first arrived at the science center, I was so overwhelmed I didn?t know where to go first. The center has three floors, each with a different theme - Invention, Health, and Environment. It is also home to the nation?s largest IMAX movie screen. I decided to check out one floor at a time, and later try to see a show.

First I visited the Environment Floor. This was my least favorite of all the floors. The first exhibit I looked at was called ?The Estuary.? This had many different tanks filled with fish that normally dwell in the lower Hudson River. Next I visited the solar telescope. I walked inside what the Science Center calls their lighthouse, and found that they have an actual solar telescope mounted on th

After I was done exhibit hopping, I decided to see the 3-D laser show. It was about a boy named Mike and how his smoking cigarettes lead to serious consequences. The graphics were truly amazing, but the plot was a little boring.

Before I left the floor I last visited a gallery called ?A Question of Truth?, which was divided into four exhibits. At first one, Point of View, I learned some beliefs and customs of different cultures. For example, although we believe that the earth revolves around the sun, some cultures believe that the sun revolves around the earth. They have actual facts to back up these beliefs, and it is easy to see that both points are valid. The next exhibit was called ?Health?. Here I played a genetics game that told me that some of my own physical characteristics are very common among people and how some of them are unique only to me. Next I visited ?One Race.? Here I learned how little of a person?s genetic makeup actually decides skin color. I found it interesting how just a little something on the inside makes such a great change on the outside. The last exhibit of the gallery was called ?Prejudices.? Here I saw a model of a slave ship and I was able to stand inside a box the same size as that of which slaves travele
