The wonders of water will WOW you at WaterWorks: Soak Up the Science – a new special exhibition that will be making a splash at Discovery Science Center in Summer 2011. Immerse yourself in stimulating, hands-on learning experiences that will quench your thirst for the playful, powerful and precious world of water.

It’s H20 from A2Z at WaterWorks: Soak Up the Science, a new special exhibition at Discovery Science Center. Immerse yourself in stimulating, hands-on learning experiences that bring home the playful, powerful and precious world of water. 

Explore how water gets physical by creating a perfect rainbow, capturing a raindrop and examining snowflakes – one of nature’s most complex structures. Dive into the “Water Quiz” to test your knowledge of the sources of water, how much is stored in the oceans, in glaciers, and how much is available for human consumption. Learn about current issues in freshwater quality and management and the stresses that are being put on this natural resource.

Discover the ups and downs of energy transfer, pressure, buoyancy and hydraulics in fun interactive exhibits. Become a wizard at ‘Water Pinball’ by using water to power lights, create pressure, and raise objects. Give your family and friends a “lift” by working a hydraulic system, and take command of a model submarine – the mission, pilot the sub to hit underwater targets.

Meet “Walter the Water Molecule” in the Water Theatre and follow his fast-paced and humourous adventures as he is suddenly thrust from his home in the water table out into the wondrous and unpredictable world of water cycles and transformations.

WaterWorks: Soak Up the Science will leave you with a better understanding of and appreciation for our precious natural resource, and the need for sustainability for future generations.
