Science in the Mall (Part 2)

This is a continuation of my earlier post on Science in the Mall.

There is an exhibit of a giant model of the Emperor Scorpion. Parents were eager to explain the details of the scorpion from the placard. I remembered I did that too when my sons were young whenever we visited any exhibition or the zoo. Parents are always very busy passing on knowledge to their children....lol.

This is the nest of the Black Widow Spider

A exhibit of the spider (not a real spider)

I found that the science exhibits are great for kids and adults and a good place to take photos too.

Please do look at the background of the photos, you can see the many shops in the mall. Shopping is one of the pastime of Singaporeans.

Skywatch-Colourful cranes

These colourful cranes found at the Sands Casino at Marina. They looked like Lego Sets.

Thanks to Tom for hosting Sky Watch. For other sky watchers, you can go to Tom's website.

The Benjamin Sheares Bridge

The Benjamin Sheares Bridge is the longest bridge in Singapore. It is named after Dr Benjamin Henry Sheares, the 2nd president of the Republic.

Another view of the bridge.

Double Helix Bridge at Marina

There are so many constructions going on in Marina and Singapore River. To see the map of Marina, click here. Singapore is undergoing a make over, so lots of construction all over the island.

The new bridge at marina is known as the double helix bridge. When completed, it would looked very pretty and one can walk from the esplanade to the yet to be completed Sands Casino. (Note the flyer in the background (equivalent of the London Eye)-I will post photos of the Flyer in later posts.)

To see how the completed bridge would look like, you can see it at this website.
