Interactives:
Bernoulli Funnel and Ball
Students press a button to begin the flow of air upwards through the cone, then toss a ball into the air stream to see what happens when air blows over a curved surface.
Eye of the Storm
Can the human body conduct electricity? Students will find out when they use their hands to discharge static electricity that has built up inside a plasma sphere.

It sure looks funny, but this groovy 4 ft-by-3 ft. Fresnel lens bends light even more efficiently than its bulbous cousins.
Laser Light Transformer
Discover how light from a small laser reacts to being shot through a variety of turntable-mounted lenses.
