Roll, bounce, slide and spin objects to discover the energy of motion and find out what factors create change. Objects have predictable ways of behaving when they interact with other objects. It was Isaac Newton who discovered the basics, of course. But, in Make It Move, everyone can.
This Neighborhood can be a simple stepping stone to understanding and applying the scientific method. Children and their adult learning partners can make predictions about what might happen next, test, change the variables, and test again!
Each exhibit in Make it Move encourages discovery and cooperative play.
This is a super great area to keep everyone busy for a long long time.
Roll a ball down a ramp to explore gravity, movement, and cause and effect.
Use trial and error problem solving skills to create tube systems for the balls to roll through.
