1.0 INTRODUCTION
On 24 August 2014, my group English and I took a field trip to the t he Petrosains, KLCC, Kuala Lumpur to get new knowledge about science and technology. We start our jouney at 10 o’clock in the morning by taking KTM UKM train to KL Central for RM3.30 for each person. It takes 40 minute to arrive at KL Central. After arriving at KL Central we take a LRT to KLCC for RM1.20 each person. Petrosains charged RM15 each person for adults to enter the centre. Petrosains is housed in the world's twin towers, the PETRONAS Twin Towers, Kuala Lumpur. Occupying level 4 and 5 of both Tower 1 and Tower 2 of the Twin Towers, Petrosains covers a total exhibit area of more than 7,000 square meters. Entrance to Petrosains is through Level 4 of the Suria KLCC mall. The mall is accessible via various modes of public transportation. Petrosains is a Science Discovery Discover y Centre that uses a fun and interactive approach to tell the story of the science and technology of the petroleum industry. Its concept and contents revolve specifically around the science of petroleum, yet embrace all the general sciences. The hands-on approach adopted by Petrosains puts an emphasis on the fun and excitement of learning rather than on the rigorous memorisation of scientific facts.
2.0 OBJECTIVE
The objectives of a field trip to Petrosains are: 1.
Understanding the function of science equipment.
2.
Gaining knowledge about Malaysian Government in petroleum industry
3. Gaining knowledge about the process of science technology from past to modern
3.0 SUMMARY
A) First, after purchasing our entrance ticket we queue up to take the Dark Ride. The kids are encouraged to touch and play with for a hands-on learning experience. Next, we go to Teater Ungku Omar. Teater Ungku Omar is a mini theatre, capable of seating 32 people, and you get to watch 3D movies here.We ended our field trip by Exit Ride. The Exit Ride is a parting journey on the Dark Ride where aspirations and hopes of proud Malaysians are captured in a fascinating audio visual display. The ride ends underneath a star-s tudded sky. B) Once we go in the Petrosains, we had been divided each person of t he group with different tasks. We are doing our tasks with teamwork. Every problem that our members happen we try to solved together. C) Every items or materials that had there have their own facts and information. This is very useful to enhance our knowledge and experience. D) I had no idea how big dinosaur actually were sing a Malay song. For us the song is very funny and joyful. Actually we are enjoyed the song even we not fully understand what the dinosaur sing.
On 23 August 2014, me and my group start our jouney at 10 o’clock in the morning by taking KTM UKM train to KL Central for RM3.30 for each person.It take 40 minute to arrived at KL Central.After arriving at KL Central we take a LRT to KLCC for RM1.20 each person. Petrosains charged RM15 for each person for adults. Petrosains is an information centre that is filled with various aspects of science discovery. I am a liberal arts major. This simply means that anything which is science or technology will make me yawn one thousand and one times before I understand an iota of the concept of it. However, at the KLCC, science and technology is presented in an interacti ve, story like format that makes it interesting and easy to understand. Science is the study of nature and Petrosains amazingly incorporates all the elements of nature in its educational program. There is a science discover y centre in Kuala Lumpur called the Science Discovery Centre. This Science Discovery Centre is located at a place called the level four of the suria KLCC. The age of dinosaurs passed a million years ago. Several people beli eve that dinosaurs are myths. However, at the KLCC and Science Discovery Center you might just be convinced that dinosaurs actually existed. If you are convinced, then you might also ap preciate how human activities have changed since the discovery of fuel several years ago. There are five basic senses of a human being, and this Science Discovery Centre since it is interactive will put to use all these senses. Various interactive exhibits are used at the Petrosains center to make participants fully understand what is going on in the science and technology world. I found out that various activities at the Petrosains Centre could entertain me for several hours. First of all, the Geotime Diorama is capable of taking one back to over two hundred million years ago when dinosaurs ruled the world. I am not always an optimist, thats why I find difficult to accept that dinosaurs really existed. When we were young, whenever earthquakes occurred, we would say that God was so annoyed in heaven that he got off his feet to stomp them down just to show the angels who was in charge. However, as I grew up I learnt that earthquakes are caused by certain tectonic movements on the earth’s surface. In Petrosains this concept was so vividly explained that I felt like tipping the presenter.
The Molecule Nano World took me on a trip to the world where molecules, polymers and atoms rule. I discovered that there are various things that our naked eyes cannot perceive. These discoveries make learning science at the Science Discovery Centre fun. When I got onto the Dark Ride I wished I had taken my family with me. It was a marvelous experience that has mesmerized me to date. It is only in Kuala Lumpur that an oil platform together with a helicopter flight simulator will make you enjoy a simulated ride through a storm. Just as in a normal helicopter ride, you will have to fasten your seatbelt for safety as well as for comfort. We learned that about how the science technology work out and gaining knowledge about the function of raw material in our daily life.
