Get Charged Up! Gallery 

Located in The Kemper and Ethel Marley Foundation Gallery, this totally interactive physics gallery replaced Networks on Level 2.

Experiment, observe, test your ideas and see what happens when you put your hands on science! Humans are naturally curious and the science of observation helps us understand the natural world around us, how things work and why.

Lie on a bed of more than 1,000 nails! Buckle up and race to the top in a pulley chair. Gather your friends and find your advantage using a giant lever for a two-sided tug-of-war. Experience the invisible forces of electromagnetism as objects move before your very eyes! Build your own circuits. Experiment with a prism to split white light into its different wave lengths and combine them to form different colors. And more!
