A Skater's Secret
What’s the secret behind those lightning-fast ice-skating spins? Try it yourself on our spin platform and see how pulling your arms in changes your speed. Learn how athletes use angular momentum to wow the crowd!
Bounce Lab
Which ball bounces highest? Make your prediction, then watch us drop different balls from 5 feet and measure their bounce on our wall-sized ruler. Discover how materials and energy affect the bounce in this quick, fun science challenge!
Block, Bowl & Roll
Step up to the lane and put your physics skills to the test! Choose foam blocks of different shapes and sizes to knock down the pins and see how force, motion, and friction come into play. Which shapes will give you a strike every time, and which ones will make you rethink your strategy?
