The Singapore Science Centre is located on a six-hectare site in Jurong. At the center, we can discover the
wonders of science and technology in a fun way. Clap your hands and colorful bulbs will light up. Start a wheel
spinning and it will set off a fan churning. It is a place to answer our curiosity and capture our imagination.
The center features over four hundred exhibits covering topics like solar radiation, communication,
electronics, mathematics, nuclear energy and evolution. It aims to arouse interest in science and technology among
us and the general public. The center is the first science one to be established in South East Asia. It was opened in
1977 and it now receives an average of one thousand, two hundred visitors a day. The exhibits can be found in four
exhibition galleries. They are the Lobby, Physical Sciences, Life Sciences and Aviation. These exhibits are
renewed annually so as to encourage visitors to make return visits to the center.
Instead of the usual “Hands off” notices found in exhibition halls, visitors are invited to touch and feel the
exhibits, push the buttons, turn the cranks or pedals. This is an interesting way to learn science even if you hate the
subject. A Discovery Centre was built for children between the ages of three and twelve. This new exhibition
gallery was completed in 1985. Lately this year a stone-age exhibit was built.
It shows us about the animals and people which were extinct.

JOIN THE LAUGHTER CLUB!
A lot of research had been done suggesting that laughter is good for us and there are many benefits to the
mind and body. In 1995, Dr Madan Kataria decided to follow up on the research findings. He went to a public
garden in the city of Mumbai, in India and spoke to people there about starting a laughter club. At first, not
everyone was enthusiastic but as he explained the health benefits of laughter, a number of people showed interest
and the first laughter club was born. It had just four members, who would stand and tell jokes in a quiet corner of
the garden to get each other to laugh. Although everyone enjoyed the fun, they soon ran outof good jokes. So Dr
Kataria decided the club members would laugh without jokes at their future meetings.
From then on, they started their meetings by laughing out loud without any real reason. This false laughter
soon turned into the real thing, and they realised they really could do without the jokes. The doctor had them try
different kinds of laughter, stopping every now and then to practise deep breathing. Doctor Kataria also came up
with some stretch exercises for the neck and shoulder muscles they could do as well as deep breathing.
Today there are about 6,000 laughter clubs in 60 countries around the world. The members of these clubs get
together daily or weekly to laugh together for about 20 minutes. They gather in parks and on beaches. Any
outdoor public place will do as long as it is far away from peoples' houses. That way the sound of 20 or so people
all laughing together won't disturb people in their homes. Meetings are usually held early in the morning when
there is less air pollution.
These clubs appeal to people for a number of reasons. Firstly, there are the health benefits: club members say
that it helps them with their asthma and it can help with headaches too. According to Dr Kataria, laughter clubs
also help young people. Our teenage years can be difficult ones, he says, and laughing can help us get rid of
feelings like anger or jealousy. It can also help with the stress young people often experience at school or college.
In addition, people form friendships at laughter clubs, and will usually lend a hand to any club member who
is in trouble. For example, when the shop of one laughter club member burnt down, the other members raised
some of the money he needed to rebuild his shop. People who have few friends or relatives find that loneliness is
less of a problem after they join a laughter club because they get to know the other people.
So, if you feel that laughter has been missing from your life recently, why not find out if there is a laughter club
in your area? It might be just what the doctor ordered.
