Jump, Throw, Pass, Cheer
and more
at the Sciencenter's new exhibition!
The Sciencenter's new
exhibition "Team Up! Explore Science & Sports" gives visitors an
in-depth look at the many scientific principles necessary in
athletics.
Children, families and groups alike are invited to check out the
fun and fascination that is involved in becoming a winning
athlete. Visitors will have opportunities to test their own
skills in such sports as basketball, football, baseball, tennis,
soccer and even extreme sports like snowboarding. At the same
time guests will be amazed and educated at the level of science
that is involved in sports. Geometry, physics, force and friction
will be explained to children in a way that is intriguing and
relative to sport.
Dress like the pros in the Locker Room. This interactive station
features equipment and apparel that mirrors the equipment worn by
the pros. At "The Sole of the Game," soles of different types of
athletic footwear are displayed and visitors are challenged to
match the sole of the shoe to the sport for which it is used.
"Balancing Acts" is an exhibit that includes a balance beam, a
pommel horse, and tabletop balancing experiments that gives
visitors a perspective as to just how difficult it is to be an
Olympic caliber gymnast.
Cross-sections of different balls and other sports equipment are
on display at the "Inside Scoop" area, revealing the construction
methods and materials used in today's high-tech sports equipment.
How do they do that? A question often asked when discussing
today's athletes. Visitors are immersed in the television show,
"ESPN Sports Figures" and many of their questions are answered.
"Sports Figures" touches on all sports and details the most
difficult scientific principles, while relaying the messages in a
manner that even elementary age visitors can comprehend.
"Team Up! Explore Science & Sports" was developed by Discovery
Center Museum of Rockford, IL and the Family Museum of Arts and
Science of Bettendorf, IA as part of the Traveling Exhibits at
Museums of Science Collaborative (TEAMS II) funded by the National
Science Foundation. The exhibition will be on display at the
Sciencenter through the beginning of July.
