January 18 - April 16, 2011: From Here to There Science Exhibit
Come explore the science of how things move by land, sea and air. Ride a hovercraft, turn up the heat to launch a colorful hot air balloon, and float a boat. Lift, launch and levitate your way through hands-on exhibits that make learning about gravity, friction, and the laws of motion fun!
Visitors can operate an authentic canal lock system to move a boat from one water level to the next, adjust wind speed to form fabric into an airfoil, and experiment with pneumatics, pulleys, hydraulics and levers to see what kind of mechanical advantage works best. |

June 20 - August: Chevrolet Nova Exhibit
The Chevrolet Chevy II was produced from 1962 to 1968. The Nova was produced in the United States from 1969 to 1979. Nova was the top model option in the compact Chevy II range and was marketed as the Chevrolet Chevy II Nova until the Chevy II name and badging was dropped for the 1969 model year. This exhibit will illustrate the short, but unique history of the Nova. |
