Around , a traveling exhibition explaining the physical science tactics behind the K'NEX genius. Visitors experience hands-on fun, as well as learn the principles of force, motion and gravity as they relate to accommodating display models. Using a charming amusement park motif, six freestanding building stations service six to eight builders at a time. Participants fabricate a structure from provided instruction sheets or from original conjecture.
Visitors use rods, wheels and pulleys to erect buildings or other chosen structures.
Included in the exhibition are examples, including a model of the U.S. Capitol built by K'NEX draftsmen requiring nearly 514,000 rods and connectors. Forcin' Around is featured in Sci-Port Discovery Center's AmSouth Bank Exploration Gallery until October 14, 2001. Roam with your students through the primeval forest among extraordinary robotic dinosaurs.
