Hands-On Fun in the Experiment Gallery August 6, 2009

Test out a variety of hands-on exhibits and activities exploring the worlds of physical science and mathematics. Create your own weather system, make wiggly waves with the Lariat Chain, and wonder at the intricacies of sound in the Sound Lab. Visit the Wave Tank and watch the surf crash against a wall or roll slowly up onto shore. Operate a steam engine and learn how the High Bridge Power Plant generates electricity. And don't leave without seeing a tornado form from a roiling cloud at your feet!
