1 . London has a lot of famous museums, and the most popular one among them is the Science Museum in London. It is the most friendly museum in London. As is known to all, shouting and running are not allowed in most museums, and touching the exhibits(展品)is also forbidden. But the Science Museum in London is different. It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to any of your questions about science, this is the right place for you.

In its rooms on the second and third floors, you can learn some knowledge about communications, the environment, maths, physics, chemistry and so on.

The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room because you can experience lots of physics experiments in it.
