Traveling Exhibit

Now Featuring...

The magic of magnets. Build structures while learning about electromagnetic fields.

Create sculptures with screws, bolts, washers, and other fun shapes!

 

Gravity Walls, designed by the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, include three six-foot high wall panels. Visitors can design and construct tracks and pathways for balls to follow. To create their track, visitors use a variety of objects including small tube sections, flexible tube sections, paddle wheel, hoop style baskets, teeter totters, pin obstacles, and wishing well type bowls. Visitors can predict what will happen to the ball as it enters and exits tubes or devices in order to keep the ball on track.
