Visitors entering the 4800 square feet exhibition hall will welcome by the huge blue whale with its graceful body gestures. By the side of the whale, a cylindrical, section of the ocean depth stands erect towering above all the exhibits
in the gallery. It comprises a variety of bizarre creatures at different levels of the zone. The gallery also seeks to explain the rise and fall of the tides, the significance of Estuaries in maintaining ecological balance, phenomenon of El-Nino &La-Nino,
Beaufort scale the measure of wind speed, methods of harnessing power from ocean, navigation instruments and so on. With a surfeit of working models as well as still models ,replicas of sea creatures, marine artefacts, information kiosks, and digital installations the
gallery presents a cosy and inviting ambiance.
Aqua Life Corner: A Window into the Underwater World The Regional Science Centre and Planetarium, Calicut, has unveiled its newly renovated ‘Aqua Life Corner’, an engaging and educational aquarium that offers visitors a closer look at the fascinating world of aquatic
life. This vibrant space is home to a diverse collection of freshwater fish species, each with unique characteristics and ecological significance. Visitors can observe a variety of fish, including the colorful Platy, elegant Angel Fish, striking Tiger Fish, and the fascinating
Arowana Fish, alongside species like the Oscar Fish, Parrot Fish, Black Moor, and the legendary Piranha. The aquarium also houses exotic species such as the Kupoko Kiocarp, Black Shark, and Aligator Fish, providing an insight into the rich biodiversity of
freshwater ecosystems. Beyond being a visual delight, the Aqua Life Corner serves as a learning hub where visitors can understand the adaptations, behaviors, and survival strategies of these species. It offers a glimpse into aquatic ecosystems, food chains, and conservation challenges,
emphasizing the importance of protecting marine and freshwater habitats. The aquarium nurtures curiosity, making it an ideal spot for students, researchers, and nature enthusiasts to explore the wonders of underwater life. A visit to the Aqua Life Corner is not just
about observing fish—it is about developing a deeper appreciation for aquatic biodiversity and the delicate balance of life within water ecosystems.
The Mirror Magic gallery provides opportunity for exploring all such manifestations and experiencing them. Visitors can walk through a maze created with mirrors as well as dine with several images of their own in this gallery. They can also have
fun by looking at their distorted images at Fun mirrors as well as learn the science behind why concave mirrors shorter. In the gallery you can have several experiences like floating in air, vanishing image, tunnel of infinite depth. The Mirror
magic gallery is full of interest stimulating experiences through interactive exhibits and also explains scientific principles involved in mirror optics.
Fun Science gallery takes another approach. Roll a ball here, spin a wheel there and many magical effects happen which asks for explanations. A whole world of wonder and amazement awaits the visitors here with many interactive hands-on exhibits. The
motto of this gallery to encourage one and all being curious. Visit the Fun science gallery for getting the answers. This gallery describes the fundamental principles of physics in simple way. How ball floats in air defying gravity, Formation of eddy currents,
lazy channel etc. are well explained in the gallery.
