Exhibits
The museum's exhibition floor is filled with nearly 200 exhibits including the following:
- Centripetal Wheel - Get this wheel spinning fast enough and watch as the stuffed animals cling to the outer cylinder wall.
- Dune Machine - Observe as the wind continually shifts the sand around objects, just as it does with snow and sand in nature.
- Turbulent Orb - Spin this globe and watch the swirling turbulence within.
- Tornado - Create your own 7 foot tall tornado as it swirls up from the ground.
- Bernoulli Blower - Suspend large objects in mid-air as the Bernoulli Blower surrounds the object with invisible air flow and keeps objects floating right before your eyes.
- Bubble Wall - Blow gigantic bubbles from our Bubble Wall exhibit, or see how you can stick your hand through the soapy wall without breaking it.
The current Featured Exhibition is "Bodies Revealed" running until March, 2013.

Famous quotes containing the word exhibits:
“Uncritical semantics is the myth of a museum in which the exhibits are meanings and the words are labels. To switch languages is to change the labels.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It exhibits the effort of an essentially prosaic mind to lift itself, by a prolonged muscular strain, into poetry.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
