Come
play! Spin tops, set up dominoes, build a mini roller
coaster and more. Explore what toys teach us about
science in this fun, hands-on exhibit.
Activities
include:
Kids
Construction Co., a partially assembled wood
and foam house where young children can play "construction
worker" and learn about shapes and pattern recognition. - Tournament
of Tops, which gives kids a chance to test
spinning lengths of different sized tops. This
fun-filled component teaches kids about inertia
and angular momentum.
- Domino
Challenge,
where children experiment with chain reactions
by setting up dominoes.
- Roller
Coaster, which lets kids experiment with acceleration
and momentum by adjusting the incline of a racetrack.
- Catch
the Wind, a sailing exhibit that illustrates
the Bernoulli principle.
