More from Science Storms at Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago. G, our in-house artist, was particularly interested in this light room. It demonstrates how color changes, or how we perceive color changes, when light waves are manipulated. I am a big fan of the MSI staff "lab coats." They are in different colors (notice staff member in black coat interacting with my kids). Perfect play on the scientist identity.



G also demonstrates the listening spot as we learn about sunlight and how light waves refract to show rainbows.
He is also demonstrating the Bernoulli's effect station, feeling the wind in his hair.



OK-having tech difficulties...trying to include in this post images of the giant swirling avalanche demonstrating machine and the video that was posted above it.  The boys also entered in the tornado chamber to feel what 80mph feels like.
