Special Exhibits:

Technology COMBATS Terrorism III

Demonstrations:

1. TXU Electric Theater at 2:30pm.

Join us for the most popular live science demonstration at The Science Place, the TXU Electric Theater, at 2:30 pm! We pack in the history of 4,000 years worth of discoveries and inventions in an engaging, exciting way, inviting kids to participate in a series of electrical experiments, including:

  • Thales' discovery of magnetism and static electricity
  • Van Guericke's static generating experiments
  • The invention of the Van der Graaff static generator
  • Volta's direct current battery
  • Ampere's electromagnetic coil
  • Faraday's alternating current generator
  • Henry's step-down and step-up transformers
  • Nikolai Tesla's high voltage, high frequency lightning machine

This show will stand your hair right up! Watch 10' lightning bolts arc through the air! In the TXU Electric Theater, history is a blast!

2. Lucent Technologies Laser Lab Show at 1pm.

LASER! probes the properties of light, familiar to all of us, yet so strange in its nature. Light, the fastest thing in the universe! You can digitize a stream of photons and hurl your voice through a flexible glass thread! Explore light with us, from Newton's rudimentary breakthrough experiments with prisms to the latest use of Lasik technology for vision correction.

Special Exhibits:

Technology COMBATS Terrorism III

Spider Exhibit - Live tarantula exhibit and spider web crawl-through interactive exhibit for all ages.

Demonstrations:

1. TXU Electric Theater at 2:30pm.

Join us for the most popular live science demonstration at The Science Place, the TXU Electric Theater, at 2:30 pm! We pack in the history of 4,000 years worth of discoveries and inventions in an engaging, exciting way, inviting kids to participate in a series of electrical experiments, including:

  • Thales' discovery of magnetism and static electricity
  • Van Guericke's static generating experiments
  • The invention of the Van der Graaff static generator
  • Volta's direct current battery
  • Ampere's electromagnetic coil
  • Faraday's alternating current generator
  • Henry's step-down and step-up transformers
  • Nikolai Tesla's high voltage, high frequency lightning machine

This show will stand your hair right up! Watch 10' lightning bolts arc through the air! In the TXU Electric Theater, history is a blast!

2. Lucent Technologies Laser Lab Show at 1pm.

LASER! probes the properties of light, familiar to all of us, yet so strange in its nature. Light, the fastest thing in the universe! You can digitize a stream of photons and hurl your voice through a flexible glass thread! Explore light with us, from Newton's rudimentary breakthrough experiments with prisms to the latest use of Lasik technology for vision correction.
