Science centers and museums are unique resources for informal learning, a process central to forging knowledge, skills, and positive
attitudes about science. They are places to discover, explore, and test ideas about the natural world. According to an unnamed
scientist, "science centers are places where people of all ages can learn at their own pace, engage their curiosity, use their senses to
ask and answer questions, and explain to others what they have learned." There are more than 400 science centers and museums
around the world where you can try science yourself.
