FUN SCIENCE
Fun Science
gallery is a fully interactive hall and houses
extraordinarily interesting interactive exhibits that
makes science learning fun filled experience. Most of
the exhibits housed in the fun Science Gallery, spread
over an area of 300 sq.mtrs, provide the visitors an
exhilarating experience to explore various aspects of

to explore the innate nature of creativity inbuilt in
every one of us.
MARINE SCIENCE
Marine life is a vast resource, providing food,
medicine, and raw materials, in addition to
helping to support and all
over the world. At a fundamental level, marine
life helps to determine the very nature of our
planet.
Marine organisms contribute significantly to the ,
and are involved in the regulation of the
Earth's are
in part shaped and protected by marine life, and
some marine organisms even help create new land.
Many species are economically important to
humans.
The knowledge regarding the relationship between life in the sea and
important cycles is increasing with new
discoveries being made day by day. Keeping this
in view and the very existence of the seas
around Puducherry, this gallery has been
designed. The 300 sq. mtrs gallery is divided in
five sections
Marine Ecology, Marine Diversity, Marine
Resources, Threats to Marine Resources, Marine
Tourism.
Did
you know:
Below 2000 feet the ocean is completely dark and
what exists there?; that Sharks are more ancient
than dinosaurs!; There are more species of life
in the water than on land; Whales have two blow
holes but dolphins have one; Fresh water fish
cannot stay in sea water; Corals are live and
they also eat!; Sea animals and birds excrete
salt to get rid of extra salt that they eat or
drink!..... and many more such questions wait to
be explored and answered in the gallery. One can
check the ocean hot spots; watch an immersive
movie on oceans and the life beneath; experience
the biodiversity in the waters of Puducherry etc
SCIENCE PARK
Beyond the four walls of the science centre, a lush
green science park sprawling over an 0.5 acre area has
been created. 14 exhibits on, levers, pulleys sun-dial
and swings that act as pendulums, etc. find a place in
the park. Here parabolic reflectors send whispers to a
distant destination, hallow pipes can be made to
generate music. The centre also pays homage to eight
eminent Indian scientists whose busts have been
displayed in the park.
DIGITAL PLANETARIUM
A 50 seated Digital Planetarium added up another feather
in the centre. Shows on Galaxy, Universe Stars
constellation etc., with projection apex on the wall in
25 minutes duration in Tamil / English gives an
exhilarating and great experience to the visitors and
students.
INNOVATION HUB
The ability of man to think is the
motive behind the human progress.
The desire to discover, ability to create, his
hunger for more knowledge and despite failures the
persistence of efforts became the wheels for
development.
‘Necessity is the mother of Invention’ is a well
known phrase which is applicable today to the
full extent because our daily life is looking for
advancement and efficiency so that technology becomes
the core of the developing world in all aspects.
Since the early days expectedly or unexpectedly
discoveries and inventions occurred.
Some people spent their life time for
finding/learning such discoveries and invention and
furthered the horizon of knowledge.
In this competitive world Innovation takes a
major place and has become the hub for property and
continues growth of the humanity as whole.With the
dwindling resources, today the word Innovation has taken
a different meaning.
It goes beyond creation of new products and
services but also includes application and usage of
technologies and materials to develop low cost, locally
appropriate solutions to improve the overall well being.
The decade of 2010-2020 has been
declared as the “Decade of Innovation” by the Hon’ble
President of India.
It now becomes the responsibility of all the
citizens of the country to prepare India to move towards
a knowledge based economy rather than resource based.
This needs an urgent thrust to promote and
nurture the innovative potential and develop innovative
centric mindset in our young generation.
