photohunt
*click photos to enlarge*
This week's photohunt got me stumbled for a while.
I was lucky to be at The Science Centre, Singapore.
Where I came across this weight experiment which consist
of a metal block weighing 200kg!!!!!
Lift the Metal Block using a horizontal bar with ropes on different lever lengths to learn the greater the distance applied from the fulcrum, the easier it is to lift the weight.Visit my other PhotoHunt

I love visiting the Science Centre, can learn so much from the exhibits. And it's good that they have new displays and different theme every now and then.
Nice entries,Elaine! They're metal indeed:) Xo
Great photo and a cool exhibit! Happy Easter weekend!
Very neat idea for the metal theme. Have a great weekend.
Wow..they sure have added many new stuffs in the Science Centre now. Cool shots :)
Hop in for some fun this weekend in http://crizcats.blogspot.com/2008/03/photo-hunters-metal.html and/or have a look what the metal teeth cat did in http://crizlai.blogspot.com/2008/03/photo-hunters-metal.html . Have a nice weekend!
WHat a wonderful choice for this week's theme. Have a great weekend!
That is huge! Exhibits are really sources of good info. :-)
That's a cool exhibit!
That's very interesting. I'm sure going to the Science Center is fun and informative.
So heavy metal..
That's really cool! What a fortuitous find! :)
What a great find for metal! Have a wonderful Easter...
That's an unusually heavy metal and educational as well.
Did anyone have a chance to try moving it?
thanks napaboaniya, you are the very first blogger who greeted me for my tom. big day....muahhhh!
mine is up!
200kgs! It's almost 3times my weight... -.-
My husband would love this -- loves to figure out this kind of thing.
What an interesting choice for the theme!
Have a greate weekend!
Looks like heavy metal. No doubt about it.
Enjoy your weekend!
What a great idea for this theme. I love these Science world experiment things. Happy Easter to you.
Cool entry. This museumophile (and ex-museum worker) loves seeing things that are museum-related catching people's eye and attention! :)
Cool!! That must be one heavy metal block. Thanks for visiting.
That was an interesting post on Metal. Good Photos!!
Great exhibit, and a nice take on the metal theme! Thanks for stopping by mine.
I'll bring my babies there, been there when I was a kid :)
My Oh my... that's interesting to learn, using fulcrum O.o
Weird Weird Denial
So that's the technique when lifting heavy objects. Not that I plan to lift something as heavy as that. :)
200kg? WOW! Looks like I need to eat more spinach ... (like Popeye so that I can lift the metal block). hahah (= Happy Easter (=
Wonderful entry - always good to learn something new! :D
That is really cool! I'm just loving the creativity of everyone for this week's theme! Have a wonderful weekend!
that is one heavy chunk of metal i love those hands on type exhibits
Hmm...so did you managed to lift the weight?
Ooo that's informative. I'm not really a good science student though, especially on physics. Hehe. :D
that's so heavy...i think! thanks for dropping by my blog!
Wah, I missed that place when I was in singapore! Haven't been there before!
Great big chunks of steel - thanks for visiting earlier.

Definitely Heavy METAL. Unique choice.
Enjoy the weekend.
A.
Whoa, that looks heavy :)
Happy Easter!
Excellent educational idea, and it makes for a great post. Well done.
Night at the museum! 24hrs@ACM Empress Place, from 7pm tonight to 7pm tomorrow night. Last chance to go on the Nalanda trail. There are activities for the kids. Good excuse for them to stay up late!! Free entrance! See you there.
We have a science museum in London here in UK. It is one of my husband's favourite places to visit. He can spend the whole day there. I am quite interested, but he explains stuff to me, and that's when I start to lose the plot! Dumb blonde! LOL!
@eastcoastlife,
Raining heavily again Zzzz.. I'll bring my kids there tonight!! Hope to you see there :) Thanks for informing me wor
Very cool! What a great way to teach people about some basic mechanical principles! :)
Alamak! Give the kids a break lah! Tomorrow's Sunday leh. Once in a while, break the monotony of their schedule. Come on!
@Eastcoastlife,
He just TOLD or THREATEN me 1 second ago, "you want take taxi?" (*^&*%&*%&$%
kakaka.... I bet I kena placed on his black-list now. I can fetch you all leh!
I'm not promoting Buddhism. I'm a Christian. But it is good to know another's religion and the kids will study this in their History lessons when they are in secondary schools. This is a good start with exhibits to see and the events that are being planned. Go with an Open Mind.
Don't quarrel over such small matter lah. I thought (in my kindest of heart... blek....) I was sharing some interesting events with you. Still will do it but your choice to attend, of course.
Happy weekend!
@eastcoastlife,
We didn't quarrel over it lar :P
We're be there for the 9pm guided tour :) You're a doll in informing me! Happy Easter to you.

I think it was the ancient experimenter Archimedes who said (or inspired) the quote: "Give me a fulcrum and a place to stand and I will move the Earth." A single man or woman seems puny in the grand scale of things, but given the right advantage of leverage, the right forum, perhaps, he or she can be heard around the world!
Nice catch for the photohunt theme... Hope you'll visit mine too..
That is very interesting!
How interesting, Elaine! I'd like to try lifting the huge block of steel! Happy Easter!
I have an Easter greeting for you here
Good choice and very intersesting!
Happy Easter!
Metal is all around us, which you here so splendid shows
Amazing! Thanks for stopping by the creek, and I hope you have a blessed Easter.
Wow! That is interesting!
Thank you for the visit.
Great take on the theme!
Happy Easter

That's quite a lot of metal being used where a large stone will suffice ;-)
Thanks for visiting and have a great week.
Nice! That's a really good entry for this weeks theme! Happy Easter! :D
