Albert
A mechanical object may seem alive if it responds to you.
Where: This exhibit is not currently on view.
Animation Station
A stop-motion animation is made of many pictures, each slightly different from the last.
Where: This exhibit is not currently on view.
Anti-Gravity Mirror
Here’s an exhibit where watching is at least half the fun. You can create any number of gravity-defying illusions that will amaze you and your friends: Levitate, fly, swim though the air, grow limbs (and dissolve them), crawl straight up the wall like a lizard—the sky’s the limit.
Balancing Ball
Levitating on an invisible stream of air, a beach ball seems to defy gravity. If you try to pull the ball out, you can feel a force pulling it back in—the same force that keeps an airplane in flight.
Bicycle Wheel Gyro
Tilt a spinning bicycle wheel while you’re sitting in a swivel chair and—surprise—you’ll start spinning in circles, too. You can also witness the same phenomenon here by hanging a spinning wheel from its axle.
Where: Gallery 4: Living Systems
Black Sand
At this simple but ever-popular exhibit, black sand from nearby beaches make spiky patterns that reveal the invisible magnetic field between the poles of two giant magnets.
Blood Cells in Your Eye
Gaze into the eyepiece at the blue light, looking for bright specks moving in short bursts against the background, and feeling your pulse as you watch them.
Where: Gallery 4: Living Systems
Museo de la Luna
Nuestra luna actúa como un espejo cultural que no solo refleja la luz del Sol, sino las historias y creencias de los pueblos de todo el mundo. Creado con imágenes de la NASA, Museum of the Moon muestra todos los acantilados y cráteres con detalles de alta resolución.
Museo ng Buwan
Ang ating buwan ay gumaganap bilang isang salaming kultural, na ipinapakita hindi lamang ang sikat ng araw, kundi ang mga kwento at paniniwala ng mga tao sa lahat ng dako. Ginawa gamit ang larawan ng NASA, ipinapakita ng Museo ng Buwan ang bawat bangin at crater sa detalyeng may mataas na resolusyon.
Bronze Hand
The combination of past experience and the sight and feel of being touched seems to change your brain's definition of your body's boundaries. You may even feel as if the fake hand is part of you.
Circuit Workbench
Try building these circuits found in everyday objects.
Where: Gallery 2: Tinkering
Confused Sea
Air blowing over the surface of water inside a large Plexiglas hemisphere mimics the action of the wind over the ocean by generating waves. The waves slowly change and build until the entire volume of water is circulating as one wave. Viewers can adjust the speed of the air blower and influence the building of the waves.
