Science Museum of Virginia's prices vary throughout the week.

Science Museum of Virginia

One of the Science Museum of Virginia’s current exhibits includes a few basketball players—just don’t expect LeBron James or Kobe Bryant. These basketball players are two rats, playing a live one-on-one game to demonstrate operant and classical conditioning. Throughout the three-story museum, more hands-on examples of science await at five permanent exhibits. Inspect a rock from the moon, explore a life-size space capsule, and generate energy by pedaling a stationary bike. Kids can even build their own playground with materials such as mats and foam blocks.

Inside the IMAX Dome, a screen 10 times the size of a typical 35 mm screen shows a wide range of educational films. Outside the museum, plants in the BayScapes Garden thrive without pesticide, fertilizer, or the encouragement of a motivational speaker, and an onsite greenhouse offers free planting areas for visitors to contribute greenery and learn about sustainable farming.

The Groupon Guide to: Forgiveness

An old saying suggests that "to err is human; to forgive, divine." This saying was obviously itself written by a human, as revealed by the glaring error of spelling error incorrectly. Forgive the humans in your life with this guide to forgiveness:

Hear Them Out: Your loved one may have a perfectly valid reason for betraying you. What appears on the surface to be a romantic dalliance between your best friend and your spouse may be an innocent case of two people rehearsing a play about CPR.

Settle the Score: You can balance out any friendship with a karmic retribution. For instance, if your house floods while your friend was house sitting for you, force them to fill your newly aquatic basement with serenity-provoking koi fish.

Accept Their Apology: Be magnanimous, but always remember—genuine remorse can only be expressed in the form of suitcases brimming with hastily stuffed cash.

Are you a forgiving person? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
