Wikipedia Description: Maryland Science Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Maryland Science Center, located in Baltimore, Maryland's Inner Harbor, opened to the public in 1976, with 3 levels of exhibits, a planetarium and an observatory. It was one of the original structures that drove the revitalization of the Baltimore Inner Harbor from its industrial roots to a thriving downtown destination. In 1987, an IMAX theater was added, but the museum continued to show its age as the end of the 20th century approached. In 2004, a large addition to the property was opened, and the modernized hands-on exhibits now include more than two dozen dinosaur skeletons. Subjects that the center displays include physical science, space, Earth science, the human body, and blue crabs that live in the Chesapeake Bay.

Maryland Science Center won a 2006 Best of Baltimore award for "Best Place to Take Kids."

Exhibits:

Dinosaur Mysteries This exhibit includes full scale models of dinosaurs such as Giganotosaurus, T-Rex, and Astrodon. It also includes a section where guests can go on a mock paleontological dig to uncover dinosaur bones.

Newton's Alley This exhibit features hands-on physical science related demonstrations including a "Bernoulli blower," "inertia table," and other similar things.

Your Body: The Inside Story This exhibit takes guests on a tour though the inside of the human body. It includes a bed of nails which guests can try out.

Our Place in Space Shows guests different aspects of the solar system, the galaxy, and the universe. It features a revolutionary new piece of technology designed by NOAA called Science on a Sphere. Live presentations on Earth and space are offered daily on the sphere. The Davis Planetarium is also located within this exhibit.

Follow the Blue Crab This exhibit showcases the Maryland Blue Crab as well as other aquatic life native to the Chesapeake Bay.

The Kids Room A room for children 8 and under and their families, which includes a ...More...

If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2004 photos: Equipment this year: I bought two Fujifilm S7000 digital cameras. While they produced excellent images, I found all of the retractable-lens Fuji models had a disturbing tendency to get dust inside the lens. Dark blurs would show up on the images and the camera had to be sent back to the shop in order to get it fixed. I returned one of the cameras when the blurs showed up in the first month. I found myself buying extended warranties on cameras. Trips this year: (1) Margot and I went off to Scotland for a few days, my first time overseas. (2) I went to Hawaii on business (such a deal!) and extended it, spending a week in Hawaii and another in California. (3) I went to Tennessee to man a booth and extended it to go to my third Fan Fair country music festival. Number of photos taken this year: 110,000.
