My kids love going to Sci-Tech Discovery Center because all of the exhibits there are actually designed for kids to
touch them and
play with them!
I love Sci-Tech Discovery Center because the exhibits are always
unique and
educational. Â My kids want to learn the scientific reason behind the fun activity they are doing just because it’s so “cool!”. Â They don’t even realize that their little brains are learning the whole time they are here.
Sci-Tech currently has two awesome exhibits –
Amusement Park Science and
Team Up! Explore Science and Sports. Â Both exhibits will be open through September 2, 2012.
She Is Dallas Info:  Sci-Tech Discovery Center is located at 8004 N. Dallas Pkwy., Frisco, TX 75034. Their hourse are Mondays, CLOSED, Tuesday “ Friday, 10:00am-5:00pm, Saturday, 10:00am-6:00pm, Sunday, noon-6:00pm. Admission is $6.50, seniors (ages 60+) $5.00, and children under two are free. For more information, please call 972-546-3050 x100 or visit the Sci-Tech Discovery Center website.  You can also follow Sci-Tech Discovery Center on Facebook.
Amusement Park Science gives visitors an interactive look at the physics behind the fun at amusement parks with 12 hands-on exhibits.
Amusement park rides spin. Â We learned all about spinning in this fun exhibit that involves spinning a wall of water to study centripetal force and parabolas.
The boys had a great time building their own roller coaster with wooden track pieces. Â They would run a car down the track to test their theories and then make adjustments to the track as needed to make the cars go faster or farther.
The big hit was the hurricane simulator! Â It does cost $2.00 but where else can you experience a rush of air at 78 mph?
It was well worth it for giggles like this!
The
Team Up! Explore Science & Sports exhibit tests your child’s abilities in sports such as basketball, football, baseball, tennis, soccer and even extreme sports like snowboarding. Â Children can explore principles of geometry, physics, force and friction as they relate to their favorite sport.
My daughter really had fun in the “Locker Room” section where she got to dress up like various sports players. Â Do you think hockey is her calling?
