I-Questakon yindawo lapho umhlaba wesayensi uvula khona izimfihlo zawo futhi okungenani okwesikhashana usondela kakhulu futhi uqondakale kumuntu. Ngonyaka, izakhamuzi ezingaba yisigidi sezigidi zifika enhloko-dolobha yase-Australia, idolobha laseCanberra , kufaka phakathi ukuvakashela le mininingwane emangcwabeni emangalisayo yesayensi nobuchwepheshe.

Ulwazi olujwayelekile mayelana ne-Questacon

Indawo yendawo yeQuestacon - ogwini lolwandle iBurley Griffin - ithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwezivakashi nabendawo. Kukhona imyuziyamu ebizwa ngokuthi "iPhalamende Triangle". Ukwakhiwa kweQuestacon ngendlela ekhona esikhathini sethu kuyisipho esitholwa i-Australia ngokuhlonipha ibicentennial yezwe evela eJapane. Lesi senzakalo esingakhohlwa sikwenze ngoNovemba 23 ngo-1988. I-museum inamabonakude angaphezu kwamakhulu amabili asebenzisanayo nesayensi futhi ihlinzeka izivakashi ngokubheka ngokucophelela ukutholakala okungenasisekelo nemiphakathi yomphakathi wesayensi.

Kusukela ku-Questakon esedlule nangamanje

Ekuqaleni, u-Questakon wavulwa ngo-1980 esakhiweni esidala esikoleni esikoleni samabanga aphansi ase-Ainslie. Umsunguli wokuvula imyuziyamu kwakungu-physicist uMike Gora, onguprofesa e-Australian National University. KwakunguGora owasebenza njengomqondisi osungula we-museum, kamuva "othuthela" esakhiweni esinikwe iJapane. I-questacon yakhiwe ngesimo se-silinda, enezingalo zamamitha angu-27. Ingqikithi, ihlala emibonisweni engu-200, ehlala njalo. I-questakon inezinhlobonhlobo eziyisikhombisa okuthiwa zemibukiso, futhi ukuguqulwa kusuka kwelinye igalari kuya kwelinye kwenzeka ngenxa yezinguquko ezishintshayo ezihambisana nomkhawulo wesakhiwo.

Yini ezithakazelisayo kubavakashi e-Questakon?

Ngakho-ke, ekubeni e-Questakon, izivakashi ziphuthuma ukuhlola izibuko eziyisikhombisa ezilapha, ngayinye ehlukile futhi ethakazelisayo ngendlela yayo:

1. "Factory Factory" - Factory Factory - igalari lapho izivakashi zingena khona emhlabeni wezemidlalo nokuqalwa. Isibonelo, ngokulawula indlela efana nengalo yerobhothi, ungazama ukwenza izinto ezihlukahlukene zokuhamba.
2. "Ukukhohlisa Inkolelo" - igalari evumela izivakashi zayo ukuba zifunde ukuthi ubuchopho bomuntu bukwazi kanjani ukubuka izivalo zezinto ezibonisiwe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ehholo lokubukisa elifanayo ungabona isichazamazwi esibizwa ngokuthi "Wavelength", okuhlanganisa inhlanganisela yokukhanya nokuzwakalayo, okubandakanya ukukhanya okukhanyisiwe, ukukhishwa kwe-diffraction, nama-hologram. Leli hholo ligcwele imibukiso ehlukahlukene. Isibonelo, izivakashi zivunyelwe ukuzizame ngokwengxenye yabaculi bese zidlala ihabhu elingenayo izintambo, noma ngepiyano ngaphandle kokusebenzisa okhiye balo.
3. "Umhlaba Owesabekayo" ihholo lapho kuhlanganiswa khona izinhlobonhlobo zezinhlekelele zemvelo, kanye nombukiso wezihloko ze-geological. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umuntu angaba ngufakazi emkhanyeni owenziwe yi-Tesla transfarmer enesikhathi sokuhamba kwimizuzu engu-15. Futhi kuleli kamelo, izivakashi zikwazi ukuzwa amandla okuzamazama komhlaba kwamaphuzu amathathu. Ngenxa yalokhu, kwanele ukwehlisa isandla sakho esiqhumini senhliziyo.
4. "I-Questakon Laboratory" - "QLab" - indawo lapho izimfihlo zesakhiwo somuntu zivezwa khona futhi izivakashi zimenywa ukuba zibuke isakhiwo somuntu, bheka izithombe ze-x-ray zezilwane, izinyoni, futhi ubuke ifilimu ngokuziphendukela kwemvelo.
5. "I-MiniQ" - I-MiniQ ne-exposure yomncane kunabo bonke, labo abavela ku-zero kuya eminyakeni eyisithupha. Ehholo kukhona indawo yokudlala, imibukiso, ngayinye evumelekile ukuyithinta, iphunga futhi ilalele.
6. "I-Sports Quest" ihholo lapho abantu bejwayele ukwenza umbukiso wangempela kuzo zonke izivakashi ngenxa yesibalo esikhulu sezinto ezikhangayo ezithandwa kakhulu. Isibonelo, ingxenye ye-adrenaline izonikezwa intaba enkulu, ukuphakama kwalo okungamamitha angu-6.7, kanye nesimiso se-roller-coaster "Ukuhlaselwa kweTremu".
7. "Amanzi ethu" - "Amanzi Athu" - igalari "etshela" mayelana nokusetshenziswa okuhlukahlukene nokulondolozwa kwemithombo ebalulekile yemvelo njengamanzi. Isibonelo, izinhlobo ezahlukene zemvula ziboniswa lapha, futhi ukuduma kuzwakala ngezikhathi ezithile.

Kodwa-ke, i-Questakon ayithakazelisi hhayi kuphela emaphepheni ayo, kodwa nakwezinye izindlu zezemidlalo ezintathu, ezibonisa njalo imisebenzi edlalwa yindawo yokudlala yaseshashalazini ye-Museum "Particles Excited". Kuphathelene nezenzo zokuzijabulisa, ezenzelwe ukubukwa ngumndeni wonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunemibukiso yamadokhumenti yezivakashi ezincane.

I-Questacon idume ngezinhlelo zayo zokuvakashela nama-Australia. Phakathi kwalezi zinhlelo zihlanganisa uhlelo "I-Shell Questacon Science Circus", lihlanganisa abantu abayizinkulungwane eziyikhulu. Ngaphansi kokuhlelwa kwaloluhlelo, ochwepheshe beQuestacon bahamba bezungeza izwe futhi bema emadolobheni amancane, lapho behlela khona ukusebenza ezikoleni, ezibhedlela nasemakhaya asebekhulile.

I-Questakon isebenza izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngesonto kusukela ngo-10 ekuseni ukuya ku-5: 00 ntambama, futhi ithikithi elidala libiza izindleko ezingu-16 zama-Australia namaRandi angu-9 ase-Australia kubantwana.
