Put Newton’s laws of motion to the test at hands-on inquiry based exhibits, and see how these laws apply to sports, transportation and everyday life. |

Put your senses to the test as you experience how perceptions often don’t stand up to the test of science. From mirrors to mazes to refracting light, you’ll learn that you can’t always believe what you see. |

Do comets have tails? How far is it to space? Answer these questions and tackle such hard-to-grasp concepts as celestial navigation, black holes and rocket propulsion. You’ll have a blast at this exhibit and learn what is myth and what is reality of being in space. |
