Science came alive at U Family’s latest instalment of Family Night Out on 16 March 2013 at the Science Centre Singapore.
500 families enjoyed an exclusive entry to the venue after its normal operating hours for fun-filled activities, such as the Family Gallery hunt.
The children also did some hands-on science experiments guided by the Mad Scientists there.
NTUC Member and Wedding Planner Florence Lim, 36, was enthusiastically taking photos of her sons as they tried out the experiments and she found the activities to be beneficial to her children who are in Primary 5 and Primary 2. As her younger son will be taking Science as a subject next year, she hopes that this exposure at event will give him a positive attitude towards learning Science. She said: “Science is supposed to be fun anyway, so they can learn through fun and play and not necessarily from textbooks only.”
Participating in events by U Family saves Ms Lim the hassle of planning family outings on her own, and the family can focus on bonding and enjoying themselves.
At the Family Night Out @ Science Centre, families were also treated to a screening of an IMAX Movie, “China - The Panda Adventure” at the Omni-Theatre.
