Explore chemical reactions using everyday chemicals, and determine whether they produce energy or use up energy when they happen.
Suggested Audience: Ages 8-Adult
The sound of Light
Learn about the amazing discoveries that led to Alexander Graham Bell's invention he called a "photophone", a device that allows you to transmit the sound of your voice using light! See how energy can be changed from one form to another.
Suggested Audience: Ages 10-Adult
Hydrogen Power
Discover the power of hydrogen and how it can be harnessed using a hydrogen fuel cell. Assemble a model of the car of the future that runs on only hydrogen and oxygen and produces no pollution!
Suggested Audience: Ages 10-Adult
Solar Power!
Explore how solar cells work and use the energy from the sun to power up a car and more!
Suggested Audience: Ages 8-Adult
Snap Circuits
Create simple circuits and learn many ways you can generate electricity to power up buzzers and lights.
Suggested Audience: Ages 6-Adult
Wind Power
Harness the wind to either power a car (for younger groups) or create turbine blades that lift the most weights or generate the most electricity!
Suggested Audience: Ages 6-Adult
Galileo's Telescope
Experiment with lenses to gain an understanding of how a telescope works. Then assemble a "Galileoscope" and view distant objects.
Suggested Audience: Ages 10-Adult
Traveling Exhibits
brain builders
