The new exhibits cover electricity and magnetism, sound and waves, and forces and motion.

-- Jacob’s Ladder demonstrates the power of high voltage, creating a climbing plasma arc.

-- The relationship between electricity and magnetism is evident with the Flying Ring exhibit, where an induced magnetic field sends a ring flying up a rod.
