Questions 6–10
Five teenagers all want to visit a museum exhibition in their city. On the opposite page
there are descriptions of eight different exhibitions to visit. Decide which exhibition
would be the most suitable for the following teenagers.
A Smithson Museum
Come along and see this exhibition of everything to do with animals – from unusual
animal prints to the latest computer designs of cartoon animals for films. Try designing a
new and fantastic film creature on the computer – you might even see it appear in a
film!
B The Willis Centre
Come and join the museum’s guided walks along the river bank. You’ll collect objects
that have come from the river, such as interesting stones and old pieces of wood and
machines. And then try making pictures with what you’ve picked up!
C Railton Museum
A visit to this museum all about the city’s river includes a 40-minute ride in a huge boat along the water – at great speed! You can also have your photo taken during the trip – but don’t even think about trying to take your own. You’ll be too wet!
D Park Pavilion
Art galleries not usually for you? Then visit this Art in the Park exhibition – young
people’s art and photography about problems in our environment. There’s everything,
from art produced on computers to teenagers’ wildlife photos. Come and put some of
your work in the display!
E The Allen Centre
Got a great idea to share? Come and take part in this exhibition about how machines
are made, from the idea to the finished product. See how IT can help with plans for
models. And come and work on your idea here – the best ones will go into the display!
F Hampton House
This technology museum is full of models of engines – and a big wheel! Climb on, sit
down and be taken up high enough to see over the rooftops! And don’t forget your
camera – you’ll get some amazing pictures! Model engines are on sale in the gift shop.
G Bedford Lock
Come down to the river bank and take photos of this temporary exhibition – 200 kilos of plastic rubbish, collected from our river! Get ideas about how we can each help to tidy up our world – but also don’t miss the display of useful plastic items such as computer and machine parts.
H Camford Museum
The exhibition here is based around large models showing how living creatures use
their amazing skills in the wild. Dress up like a jungle creature to discover how they deal with a changing environment. Or help build a model of a giraffe – and even get one from the shop to take away!
