TEAM UP
Explore the science of sports through 15 interactive stations and learn about science and math!
Team Up! Explore Science & Sports examines the science of sports through 15 interactive components. Visitors can test their own skills in sports such as basketball, tennis, soccer, and football while learning about math and physics.
In this exhibition, visitors are invited to do such things as:
- Discover their pitching speed in a radar-equipped booth;
- Experiment with balance using pommel-horse and balance beam interactives;
- Make a perfect bounce pass to a "teammate" located on the other side of a barrier;
- Shoot a marble-sized basketball through a tiny hoop while learning about trajectory angles.
Team Up! was developed by Discovery Center Museum, as part of the TEAMS Collaborative, with major funding from the National Science Foundation. Team Up! will be open Memorial Day – Labor Day, 2010.
