NUS Science Demonstration Lab (SDL) was developed in the spirit of adopting a hands-on, minds-on approach to teaching and learning science.
The laboratory aims to embrace and embody the spirit of allowing students and visitors to discover and re-discover science through hands-on activities and interactive learning; and to build understanding around visually and intellectually impactful science demonstrations. To date, the SDL has received more than 47,000 visitors from more than 250 organisations, tertiary institutions and schools locally and internationally.
The Science Demonstration Laboratory highlights a variety of illuminating science experiments and demonstrations. More importantly, our team of dedicated guides is on hand to communicate the most exciting aspects of scientific concepts to the participants.

New bent-toed gecko species in Timor-Leste
“We have barely scratched the surface of Timor-Leste’s biodiversity. New discoveries can have profound impacts on conservation and policy-making.”
In August 2022, we led an expedition to Timor-Leste in collaboration with Conservation International and the government of Timor-Leste. The Museum’s herpetologist, Dr CHAN Kin Onn, discovered a new species of bent-toed gecko which was named Cyrtodactylus santana, in reference to the Nino Konis Santana National Park, in which the gecko was discovered.
