| First stop of the day: Science Museum |
On Monday, July 11th, we ventured back into London for visits to the Science Museum and London Transport Museum. Our first stop, the Science Museum, brought together a number of the Industrial Revolution energy sources we previously explored in the museum's very informative Energy Hall. We also had a chance to tie in some of the energy course in the exhibit: Energy - Fueling the Future.

The transportation museum gave us a chance to look at the evolution of moving people and products in and around London over the past 200+ years. It was fascinating to see the development of the underground and see the change from steam to electric powered tube cars.
