BROWNIAN MOTION
In 1827, Robert Brown, an English botanist, observed chaotic motion of dust from pollen grains on the surface of water in a microscope sample. However it wasn't until Einstein re-examined his findings that this discovery was properly identified as molecular motion. Even in 1905, many scientist still believed matter was continuous and not granular in nature.By calculating both the size of an atom and its molecular weight, Einstein showed once and for all, that matter is made of individual atoms!

YOUR ANIMAL WEIGHT
Visitors are presented with a large dial type weigh scale made to simulate, in appearance, an old style mechanical dial weigh scale of the past. Visitors stand on the scale and measure their weight both kilograms and comparatively with silhouettes of animal both contemporary and extinct up to 500kg.Download a Printable Version (PDF)

STAR TRACER
Go ahead – stimulate your brain! Fridtjof Nansen, a famous Norwegian scientist discovered that when we learn a new task, we are actually stimulating new brain cell growth. His research contradicted the common belief that we are born with a finite number of brain cells that slowly die over time, never to be replaced like other cells in our bodies.In Star Tracer, users are presented with a novel task as they sit facing the Star's reflection in a mirror and use a conductive tracing pen while attempting to trace the path inside the Star's outline. If the pen strays into the gold area, a buzzer will sound to encourage them to try again. If users adapt to this new task well, they are well on their way to growing new brain cells!

OUR TRAVELING GENES
The Genographic Project, sponsored by the National Geographic Society, has collected well over 30,000 DNA samples from people all over the world. There is a special focus on sampling DNA from native Africans in order to study the origins of the first humans and their subsequent migration out of Africa.Inspired by the "Our Traveling Genes" exhibit, Exhibiteers recommended to the Norwegian project team, that they select eight well known Norwegian personalities for DNA testing as a way to better relate to their Norwegian audience. Included among the 8 personalities are Sir Henrik Abel who is a famous Norwegian mathematician, as well as other notables such as a prominent chef, an accomplished artist, and a Lappland descendent of Norway.
The Genographic Project program has uncovered many fascinating details about our ancient ancestry including a genetic "Adam" who lived some 60,000 years ago and a genetic "Eve" who lived 150,000 years ago from whom we have all descended. The Genographic Project's web site was also made available to the visitor to promote more in depth inquiries.

BRAIN TEMPERATURE
When we are awake, our normal brain temperature is basically our core temperature of between 98° to 99° F (37° C). When we are asleep, the brain temperature drops to between 95° to 97° F (35° to 36° C). This sleep/wake temperature change is controlled by the circadian rhythms of the body. The brain temperature and thus mental consciousness can also be controlled externally, by changing the temperature. Brain Temperature is a very simple simulation of the temperature of our brains when we are awake. An anatomical model of a human head with the brain partially exposed was modified to include a temperature controlled heating element. The temperature is set to simulate a brain temperature while awake of 37° Celsius.

BRAIN WEIGHT
Brain Weight challenges visitors to guess which of the three brain models that are identical in appearance, has the weight of an average adult female brain. Each brain model is weighted differently with the first brain weighing that of 6 month old child, the second brain that of 1 year old child (incidentally whose brain is already 90% of the weight of an adult brain) and the third brain is the weight of an adult female brain.
