This is an old version of the room; view for size only--all new centers and table arrangement!

 

  • Unstable Table

    Why can't you balance this table? What makes it move? How do distance from center and weight make a difference?
  • City Building

    Use ticket "bricks" and other interesting items to build a city. What is your scale? Where do you want to live, work and play?
  • Junk Xylophone

    Play rhythms and tunes in a group or solo.  
    The top is a cart from our warehouse; the tubes are scrap PVC plumbing pipe.
    Watch the xylophone on YouTube.

  • Musical Ramp

    Shoot the marble up the large ramp. What sounds are made as the ball goes up? How about down?
  • Giant Marble Run

    Build a path with the flexible tubing. How many turns can the marble take? Can you make it go uphill? What is inertia?
