Explore the Exhibitions Connections: The Nature of Networks Feedback
Marvelous Molecules- The Secret of Life
|
Connections explore the new science of networks. Networks are evident everywhere and serve as a great tool for teaching science, mathematics, social studies and more! In this exhibition, state-of-the-art technology lets you investigate how the World Wide Web is like a real spider’s web, or how a school lunch room is like a school of fish. 
Pedal an airplane propeller, direct a spinning windmill and examine an antique steam engine (circa 1865) as you investigate self-sensing machines and how they work. 
Enjoy the nation’s largest interactive microbiology exhibition. View the millions of ordinary microorganism around us and learn how they affect our health and environment. 
This exhibition explores the shared chemistry of living things. Find out what we have in common with plants, bacteria and marine mammals. Learn about photosynthesis, genetics and brain chemistry. Weigh yourself to determine the number of molecules in your body. 
This is the first interactive exhibition devoted to math. Beautifully crafted by one of the nation’s leading designers, it engages visitors in exploring topology, symmetry, and geometry through thought-provoking activities. 
Explore and discover the natural and built world of a city in this playful environment. Plant, pick, shop, and count fruits and vegetables in a multi-ethnic market. Move foam bricks around a conveyor system, hoist them with cranes and build structures and a façade for a two-story cityscape. (Children 6 and younger) 
Discover what makes all matter matter. Examine the world’s first 3-D dynamic model of an atom magnified one billion times. 
This outdoor park features the Hall’s two newly-refurbished iconic rockets, surrounded by new interpretive panels and a climb-in capsule that is the same size as the original Mercury capsule. Indoors, the first Mercury capsule ever made and flown is displayed. 
Climb up, sled down and scamper over New York’s only science playground. This exhibition is an outdoor laboratory packed with exhibits that invite not only hands-on, but whole body participation: giant slides, windmills, water play area, light-activated kinetic sculpture, a teeter-totter, which balances a dozen kids at once, and more! 
This is a multimedia library with an extensive collection of books, videos, magazines, computer software programs, Internet access, and a comprehensive Teacher Leadership Center. Members have borrowing privileges for most materials.
Recently, scientists have made stunning discoveries of living organisms in some of the harshest environments on Earth. This exhibition compares environments of Earth, Mars and Europa and demonstrates some of the organisms that live in extreme environments. Explore how newly acquired knowledge about the harsh environments that organisms survive and flourish in is informing our search for life in the Universe. 
Journey into the world of color, light and perception with over 80 exhibits. Discover how the eye works, explore optical illusions and learn how we perceive the world around us. 
Customize a jazz composition, electronically change your voice, and interact with exhibits to learn how sound are produced and perceived. 
The Sports Challenge focuses on the science behind sports with super-interactive challenges and live sport demonstrations. Visitors can test their skills at baseball, surfing, tennis, drag-racing and rock climbing. Each challenge first facilitates the understanding of the science, then invites visitors to compete with themselves or other to improve their skill and score. 
Surf the Internet as you tap into the World Wide Web. Explore tryscience.org and link to more than 400 science centers around the world.
