FIDDLING WITH PHYSICS

Get Psyched about Physics

Slow down and take your time with this exhibit; it's a marathon, not a sprint. 

Physics is traditionally a trial and error type of science, teaching the pay-off of patience and persistence. If at first you don't succeed ... try, try again. 

Within this exhibit, visitors can test the workings of simple circuits, have fun with air pressure and play around with electro-magnetism. For the STEM engineer, go further by building a car or rocket. Test your product, tinker with any issues you find, and try again. Remember, patience pays off.
