California Science Center: Science in Toyland
LOS ANGELES, CA
It’s fun. And guess what? It’s science. Exhibits demonstrate how children (and parents) can use popular toys, like tops and dominoes, to investigate basic scientific principles. Visitors engage as they discover science is an entertaining everyday activity. This traveling exhibition, developed for the California Science Center, has toured museums around the country since 1992 and continues to travel.
