Energy Wave – allows visitors to manipulate a 150-foot series of connected rods and balls to explore how energy is propagated in a wave.Slides – show how to convert the force of gravity into the force of motion. Visitors can race down two adjacent slides, one straight and one curved, to see which one is faster.

Standing Spinner – invites the public to examine how angular momentum stores energy. A visitor stands on a rotating disk and holds a handle in the center. By leaning in, the visitor spins faster, by leaning out, the visitor spins slower.

Ball Run – allows visitors to pick one of the different colored balls and follow it along its journey. Each ball is given potential energy from the mechanical energy of the conveyor belt lifting it to its greatest height. As the ball moves along the track, it gains kinetic energy. As the ball changes direction, it also changes energy.

Giant Seesaw – takes the mystery out of understanding levers, allowing a whole class to conduct experiments such as how many students does it take to lift the teacher? (Answer, it depends on how close to the fulcrum they stand).

Giant Lever – invites children to use leverage to lift a 200-pound weight.

Sound Station – shows how size and materials can change the tone of a note. Using a mallet or the palm of their hands, visitors can strike nine different xylophones. Although all tuned to the same pentatonic scale, the different pipe widths and materials produce different tones.

Speaking Tubes – examine how tubes channel the energy of sound. Visitors speak softly into one end and are heard clearly at the other end, many yards away.

Whisper Dishes – demonstrate the reflection and focusing of sound.

Wind Pipes – illustrate how air pressure can be converted into sound. Participants step on three wooden beams that are mounted like a seesaw on ground level. The seesaw movement forces air through musical pipes creating a variety of sounds.

Archimedes Screw – allows visitors to experiment with a wheel and axle to move water up the contraption.

Climbing Space Net – explores the principles of tensile structure. As children climb around the net, they can feel how the structure responds to their weight.

Windmill Seat – converts wind energy into vertical movement. A swing-like seat, attached to a small windmill, moves up and down when the wind blows. Participants can also turn the windmill with their own weight by simply sitting on the seat.

Sun Catchers – allow visitors to use mirrors to direct sunbeams at targets on a kinetic sculpture. When redirected sunlight hits a photocell on the sculpture, the solar energy is converted to electrical energy that triggers propellers, whirligigs and a fog machine.
