On The Road Exhibits

Anatomy

What do your organs look like? Navigate your way through human anatomy (internal and external) with a computer dissection of a real cadaver. more »

Balance Plate

Keeping your balance is not a simple process. Your ability to keep your balance involves several of your body’s sensors and feedback systems: your eyes, your inner ear, your muscles, your sense of touch, and your brain. more »

Choice & Chance

What are the odds? Probability is a measurement of the likelihood of a given result. more »

Generator Bike

What does it feel like to make electricity? Use the Generator Bike to convert the muscle energy of your legs into electrical energy. How much electricity can your leg muscles make? more »

Geographic Information Science

These computers contains a map made from satellite images of your county. Can find your house? Your school? more »

Inside Out

Ever wondered what your arteries look like to a portable doppler ultrasound? Now's your chance to find out. more »

Light Island

Using the lenses and mirrors on this exhibit, you can bend light! The light can be focused onto a single point, spread out widely over a large area, or reflected to different locations on the table. more »

Making Waves

Energy in all forms is transmitted in waves. Waves have certain characteristics and properties such as how often they occur (frequency) and how strong they are (amplitude). There are rules that direct how waves interact and move. Discover some of them by experimenting. more »

Micro Worlds

Something familiar can look very foreign when viewed under a microscope. You may notice that big things are made up of lots of smaller things. You may even see things you never saw before or knew existed. more »

Optical Illusion

Seeing is believing? Think again. Optical illusions easily outwit the way your brain interprets visual stimuli causing you to 'see' something that really isn't. more »

Private Statistics

Everyone is different. See how your height and weight compare to other students at your school. The bars on the graph create a distribution curve. more »

Static Electricity

Rubbing dissimilar objects against each other can build up a static charge, like your shoes (rubber) on some shag carpet (wool). If the charge is great enough, it will get released (discharged) in a spark. more»

Topography and Weather

Mountain ranges and valleys of Utah create daily breezes and interact with large air masses that travel from the Pacific Ocean and Canada. In certain situations, the terrain can channel air and create tornadoes and land spouts. more »

Velocity Tracks

Three balls start at the same height. All three have the same destination but take different paths and have different weights. How do these variables (path and weight) influence the time it takes for the balls to get to the bottom? more »

Voice Print

Your voice is a complex blend of sounds. The graph allows you to visualize those sounds, your personal voice print. more»

Whisper Dishes

Two large, plastic dishes are placed opposite each other. By speaking and listening at the center of the dishes, you and a friend can talk across the room without raising your voices. more »

Windbag

Are you a windbag? Everyone is actually. Mesure the capacity of your lungs with this exhibit. more »

Off The Road (exhibits under development)

Cells: Life’s Basic Function Units

Description is forthcoming. more »

Isotopes, Radiation and You

You are surrounded every day by radiation that comes from many things in your world. You can measure and compare the radioactivity of the items in this exhibit using a Geiger counter. more »

Making Electricity

All it takes to make electricity is a coil of wire and a magnet. That’s it. Moving a magnet through a coil causes electrons to flow through the wire. This principle is known as induction. more »

Molecules: Simple & Complex

Description is forthcoming. more »

Photosynthesis & Respiration

Description is forthcoming. more »

Powering Life: Bioenergetics

Description is forthcoming. more »

Stress Polarization

Using polarized light, you can see the forces and stresses that engineers have to figure out when they build bridges and other structures. more»

Under Pressure

Using piezoresistive semi-conductive polymer grid sensor, you can visualize the pressure of everyday objects—and you. more»
