A collection of photographs of the universe by the Fleet Center's Resident Astronomer, Dennis Mammana. Signals Interactive exhibits display a sea of signals. With lasers, sand pendulums, computers, sound tubes, telegraph and the Internet, experience the richness and variety of signals that surround us. This exhibition provides students with an understanding of the basic principles that underlie the transmission, storage and retrieval of information. Balance a beach ball on a jet of air in the Bernoulli exhibit, pinball a ball bearing down a black hole in the Gravity Well, and watch unseen forces at work in the popular Sand Pendulum , all returning to our Exhibit Galleries soon.
Young visitors can experience hands-on learning with educational toys just their size.
All children must be accompanied by an adult. Heartflight takes you on a virtual tour of one of our most complicated organs. From the chambers to the valves, this exhibit lets you examine the human heart from the inside out. Developed by San Diego State University College of Science, the American Heart Association California Affiliate, and EAI, Inc. in conjunction with Fleet Center Staff.
