Science Storms

Reconnect with your sense of wonder in Science Storms. This permanent exhibit collects forces of nature under one roof, letting you observe and experiment with seven natural phenomena: lightning, fire, tornados, avalanches, tsunamis, sunlight and atoms in motion. You'll learn core concepts of chemistry and physics while controlling a 40-foot tornado, seeing 1.5 million volts of electricity strike or creating a tsunami.
