Our New Water Table Has Arrived

Exciting news — ScienceWorks has a brand-new interactive water exhibit! Ripple Effect: Hands-On with Hydrodynamics arrived this week, and we can’t wait to share it with you.


This hands-on exhibit lets guests experiment with dams, turbines, and cascades to see how motion, gravity, and design shape the flow of water. Visitors will explore how humans harness water to do work, while discovering the forces that keep our world in motion.


Key STEAM principles include:

  • Hydrodynamics: The science of how water moves and transfers energy
  • Hydraulics: How humans harness that motion to do work


We don’t have a firm opening date yet — our team will be finishing installation and troubleshooting the exhibit before it’s ready for the public. But stay tuned! We’ll share updates as soon as you can come splash, experiment, and play with Ripple Effect.
