Where do you go to experiment with science? Does it only take place in a classroom or lab? In reality, science is all around us – even in our own backyards! CuriOdyssey’s newest exhibit, Backyard Science, removes science from the lab and gives it a home in the CuriOdyssey’s gardens Experiment with ambient sound tubes, listen with a giant ear, and test what it's like to have "superhuman" vision! Kids of all ages can experience scientific phenomena through these curiosity-inspiring, hands-on exhibits Backyard Science helps families explore, play, discover (and even get their hands dirty!) by experimenting with scientific phenomena on CuriOdyssey’s grounds When you play with the exhibits, you'll be able to manipulate water and make it move in topsy-turvy ways; listen with giant ears that enhance the unique sounds of nature; watch how light can be filtered through surprising shapes; understand how erosion takes place, and even simulate “superhuman” vision! Through direct, hands-on experimentation, the new exhibition connects children with the most common (and fascinating) phenomena that can be found in their own backyards]]>
