The lessons are based around the monthly theme that the discovery center planned. These presentations are taught by the enthusiastic Discovery Center staff and volunteers. On top of the different exhibits, there are also live presentations everyday at one o'clock pm (Monday through Friday) and two o'clock pm (Saturday and Sunday). The spinning of the wheel send everything to the edges, away from the center. The stuffed animals don't fall back down when they reach the top of the wheel, they stay in place the whole way round.
Stuffed animals are available to place in the bottom of the wheel, then with a great shove, they are sent around and around the big wheel. It is a wheel about ten feet in diameter that teaches the laws of centripetal force. You can watch wiffle balls, paper and a lot more float up in front of your eyes. When light objects are placed in the jet stream, they float, defying gravity. The air blower shoots air toward the sky. The vortex spins and spins, appearing to be a wispy white color, almost like smoke.Īn exhibit at the Discovery Center that will blow your mind is the Bernoulli Blower. The tall glass case that contains the tornado, has air jets on the top and bottom that create a mini vortex, picking up the small dust particles in the case. This exhibit simulates the actions of a fierce tornado, on a slightly smaller scale, of course. You can try to blow a giant bubble or stick your hand through the thick liquid.Īnother Discovery Center favorite is the Tornado Maker. When the pole is raised up a long sheet or 'wall' of bubble is stretched out in front of you. A pole rests in the water and can be raised up by a cord that rests to the side of the trough. The bubble wall is a trough about four or five feet long and three inches wide filled with bubble soap. The Discovery Center staff and founders understand that science, engineering and math can be hard concepts to gather and understand, so they try to make it simple and exciting.Ī few of the most famous exhibits are ones like the Bubble Wall. It was founded on the values of trust, empowerment, and most of all, fun. The Discovery Center has been operating for about 25 years on Myrtle Street in downtown Boise. It is for the public good, to help show people that science and math can be fun. They want to help people feel the exhilaration of discovery, by creating and facilitating controlled scientific experiments. Remember what it's like to discover? Remember what it's like to learn something new? Remember how exciting it is? Remember the first time that you really did get excited about learning about the weather or the way earthquakes work? Well, that is the mission of the Discovery Center of Idaho.
