Upper Level
 Explore the ways science and technology help us to investigate and expand our understanding of life and the
human body.
The following highlights describe theme areas and how they align with the California Science Framework  , as shown in * ( ).
The Curiosity Counter*(technology and life science)
See demonstrations and discuss life technology innovations such as synthetic foods, surgical instruments,
bone paste and more. Observe proteins, genetic material and other biological microstructures with an electron
microscope.
 Visit The Curiosity Counter
Beyond Our Limits *(physical science, force and motion, energy, systems and interaction)
Focus on the body in motion and discover how technology advances our ability to analyze, train, or to protect
the human body from injury. Drive a wheelchair, test a hockey goalie's protective gear, and try on the
high-tech materials and devices that extend our capabilities.
Visit Beyond Our Limits
Med Tech *(life science, physical science, technology, energy)
Learn more about the technology used to mend the human body and its impact on the way we diagnose, treat and
prevent disease and injury.
Visit Med Tech
The Transparent Body *(life science, anatomy and physiology, scale and structure, technology)
Explore the innovative ways technology allows us to see, hear, quantify, record and model the human body: from
seeing your heat image in a thermograph to taking a fly-through anatomy trip in "Visible Human".

Life's New Frontier *(life science, genetics, scale and structure, cells, patterns of change)
Examine the exciting applications and compelling issues of biotechnology. See the 16-foot DNA spiral sculpture
and explore how advances in genetics and; biological science affect our lives.
