At the Weather Station, visitors will see themselves on TV, superimposed on a large digital weather map, as they play the roll of meteorologist. Content focuses on weather systems and video technology.
![Page 15: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Exhibit: Dino Dig
Visitors use special brushes, chisels and tools to “excavate” an impressive dinosaur skeleton. Visitors will learn about paleontology, anatomy, fossil identification, geology and other related areas.
![Page 16: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Exhibit: Musical Soundscape
This video-based system will turn our grand staircase into an engaging, interactive exhibit. Visitors walking through the space will quickly realize that by moving in various ways – jumping to reach high notes, waving their arms to create flowing melodies and more – they can create a wide range of sounds and music.
![Page 18: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Exhibit: 3 Square Meals a Day
For most consumers, the agricultural system is invisible. We buy our food and clothes with little knowledge or concern about where they comes from or how it they were produced. In reality, the industry of agriculture touches almost every aspect of our lives. This exhibit will focus on agriculture science and demonstrate the importance of farming to everyday life.
![Page 19: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Exhibit: Indoor Bee Hive ColonyThe bee hive offers an opportunity for visitors to see into the lives of a honeybee colony. The bees have access to the outdoors so they can collect nectar and pollen to produce honey. The bee hive exhibit will give a thorough view of the nature of a honey bee colony.
![Page 20: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Exhibit: Bernoulli Blower
In this engaging exploration of air pressure, visitors balance a ball in a stream of moving air. Illustrating the Bernoulli Principle, balls remain suspended in fast-moving air columns, even when lightly pushed or tapped, supported by the pressure of the non-moving air surrounding them.
![Page 21: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Exhibit: Senses Climbing Structure
A series of connected structures provides opportunities for climbing, crawling, sliding and other large motor activities. The structure also features senses-themed props like binoculars (eyes) and listening dishes (ears).
![Page 22: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Exhibit: Toddler Zone
Babies crawl and toddle through a padded path featuring different surfaces, elevation changes, colors, textures, and architectural elements. Pull-up bars and mirrors allow young children to view themselves and practice standing.
![Page 23: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Exhibit: Seashell DiscoveryVisitors will walk inside a large seashell to explore the life of a seashell.
They will learn important facts about shells and the oceans. They can also play the “shell game.”

Exhibit: Magnet Wall
The magnet wall provides visitors with a huge range of open-ended design and experimentation possibilities. Magnetic props include gear systems, letter and number blocks, shape and pattern designs, and ball/track devices.
![Page 25: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
A series of dynamic water experiences flow in a continuous “river circuit.” Activities include pipes and fountain building, river and dam stations, cause and effect water physics, and a toddler splash area.
Exhibit: Wet Lab
![Page 26: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Exhibit: Bubble Ring
This is a larger than life bubble maker. Visitors will get a chance to feel what it is like to be completely enclosed in a giant bubble tube. The Bubble Ring is a hit with children of all ages!
![Page 27: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Exhibit: Paper Airplane Building/Shooter
In the airplane workshop, different materials and design suggestions will provide inspiration for visitors to make and test their own paper airplanes. After they’ve made an airplane, the automated “launch pad” and target area will allow visitors to test their designs.
![Page 28: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Exhibit: Flight Simulator
This highly interactive exhibit will allow users to learn about the aspects of flight – everything from bringing up the landing gear to soaring through the sky.
![Page 29: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Exhibit: Air Cannon
The Air Cannon will help visitors see that air has mass and volume. When the cannon is launched, the air inside the cannon rushes out because there is no space for it inside any more. The expelled air exerts a force, or push, on the streamers, and visitors can see how far they can shoot these air rings.

Exhibit: Four Forces
Visitors will learn about weight, thrust, lift and drag – the different forces, that effect flight of an airplane. This interactive exhibit lets visitors move the plane to simulate the effects of the four forces.
![Page 31: Thcm Building&Exhibits](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5584e0b6d8b42ad23a8b50af/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
