WELLNESS IN EDUCATION: Philippine Science Centrum launched nine new exhibits aimed at teaching kids how to save the environment. All these exhibits, like everything else in the Science Centrum, are interactive. Interactive exhibits “In most museums, you see the description, you see the explanation, but you don't see the action. With this one, you touch it, you do something, it explains what happens,” said Philippine Foundation for Science and Technology President Engr. Filemon Berba, Jr. in an interview with GMA News Online during the exhibit launch on Wednesday. “We waste too much in our environment. We waste electricity, we waste materials, (but these) are preventable. We have to have what we call a war on waste.” One of the exhibits is called Standby (Phantom) Power, which features a television connected to a device that measures the electricity it consumes. With a push of a button, the viewer can turn the television on or off. The exhibit shows that a plugged-in television, even when turned off, still consumes electricity. Lesson learned: When appliances are not in use, don't just turn them off. Unplug them as well. - Philippine Science Centrum marks 24th anniversary with new exhibits | SciTech | GMA News Online
