Explore how light affects the colors we see everyday in this vibrant hands-on experience. When light hits an object, some reflects, or bounces off the object and some is absorbed, or taken in by the object.
At the Laser Table, reflect a beam of visible laser light to create a mini laser show. In the Recollections Room, a walk-in video screen lets you see your shadow transformed into colorful computer-enhanced images that change with your movements!
The concept of viscosity is demonstrated at the Viscosity Tubes exhibit. Control and compare movement of bubbles through liquids of varying viscosities and learn to identify which liquids are most and least viscous. The Viscosity Tubes exhibit is made possible thanks to support from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
At Prisms and Rainbows, explore the properties of light prisms, mirrors, and color filters. Capture your shadow on a wall in the Shadow Room.
