SPIN
January 30 - May 25, 2008
Discovery Center Museum invites you to give science a whirl at its new
traveling exhibit, SPIN. SPIN is an exciting exhibit that explores the fun —
and science —of objects that rotate! Guests of all ages will be fascinated
to explore the science behind spinning toys, sports, transportation, space
travel, entertainment —and even the Universe itself.
SPIN was developed and is owned by The Health Adventure in Asheville, North Carolina, and Catawba Science Center in Hickory, North Carolina, as part of the Traveling Exhibits at Museums of Science Collaborative. SPIN is funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
