The newly opened MOXI: The Wolf Museum of Exploration and Innovation was the stop for our first field trip in April. What an exciting and hands on place to visit! Below are some of the innovative exhibits the students found most enjoyable (Descriptions of each activity are taken from the MOXI website):

“Speed Track: Feed your need for speed as you build your own race car and send it down our test track. Prototype designs for a marble roller coaster.”

“Foley Studios: Be a part of Hollywood magic when you step into our Foley Studios to create your own sound effects for a popular film clip.”

“Fantastic Forces Courtyard: Conduct test flights in our Wind Column Workshop. Play with all these things and more in our grand Fantastic Forces Courtyard that soars up three stories to the glass ceiling of the Sky Garden.”

“Light Track: Explore the world of lights, colors, shadows and more in this area where science and technology beautifully combine with visual arts and creative expression.”

Sky Garden:

“Play and experiment with fluid dynamics in a spectacular way at Whitewater, our fully interactive water feature including a giant Archimedes screw.”

“Create a wind-, sun- and human-powered symphony with the Weather Orchestra.”

“Step inside the Lookout Tower to see the city a bit differently through the lenses of five different observation scopes.”

“Walk across our glass Sky Deck for a unique view of the courtyard below.”

“Tech Track: Discover a unique showcase for a wide range of digital interactive experiences designed in partnership with area artists, educators and scientists.”

What a memorable day of learning this was!
