| Description: |
Letting curiosity and inquiry be their guides,
visitors explore familiar buildings and locales from the Curious
George book series and PBS KIDS® television series in
Curious George: Let's Get Curious! The exhibit presents key
concepts in science, math, and engineering, which are woven
and layered throughout the exhibit.
Activities invite visitors of all ages to learn like George
through direct experience and problem solving! Upon entry
to the exhibit, visitors find themselves on an urban street
and are transported to the neighborhood in which Curious George
lives with his friend, The Man with the Yellow Hat. Families
find themselves surrounded by familiar places and faces, while
encountering new challenges and ideas. The show's supporting
characters appear throughout the exhibit, helping to provide
context, deliver parent and take-home messages, and inject
humor.
Activities have multigenerational appeal and are targeted
toward children ages 3-7, families, and school groups. Key
areas include:
- Exhibit Entry: Visitors find themselves on an urban
street and meet George who*with a bunch of balloons in hand*is
clinging by foot to the top of a traffic light.
- Apartment Building: Families move George on a pulley
to help him wash the apartment windows. Inside, they manipulate
objects and explore the properties of light, shadow, color,
and shape to create dynamic displays in the building's windows.
In the lobby, visitors can open the tenants' mailboxes to
reveal different effects, games, and mechanical toys.
- Sidewalk Produce Stand: Families sort produce at
a charming sidewalk produce stand and play the roles of
customer or salesperson as they explore shape, sorting,
weighing, and counting with colorful fruit and vegetable
props.
- Construction Site: Visitors encounter a construction
zone in the middle of George's neighborhood. Oodles of materials
invite children to design and build structures, from small
to tall, 2D to 3D. Children work together to move materials
using conveyer belts, pulleys, and levers.
- Park: The park welcomes infants, toddlers, and
adults, providing a spot to rest, and special interactives
for the youngest visitors. A full-size huggable George is
here, too.
- Mini Golf: Visitors putt their way through three
miniature golf holes, experimenting with physics, engineering,
and math in the process.
- Rocket: Children climb up the rocket and peek out
a porthole to look at their families below and have their
picture taken to e-mail home.
They'll even see George floating in space with his space
suit! They then arrive back to earth via a slide.
- Farm: Visitors will experience the power of wind
and cause-and-effect as they use wind to move a collection
of windmills, whirligigs, windsocks, and wind chimes. They
can build their own whirligigs to test and take home. Plush
farm animals in pens are located just outside the barn for
children to care for and cuddle.
- Retrospective: Inside this museum, the history
of the Reys and their creative work will be told through
interactive displays of text and images, photos, sketches,
vintage and current merchandise and other artworks.

Team Up! Explore
Science & Sports examines
the science of sports through 14 interactive components. Visitors
can test their own skills in sports such as basketball, tennis,
soccer and football while learning about math and physics.
In the February
2006 issue of Family Fun magazine, Team Up!
was rated the best hands-on traveling exhibit for families.
In this exhibition,
visitors are invited to do such things as:
- Discover their pitching speed in a radar-equipped
booth.
- Experiment with balance using pommel-horse
and balance beam interactives.
- Make a perfect bounce pass to a "teammate"
located on the other side of a barrier.
- Shoot a marble-sized basketball through
a tiny hoop while learning about trajectory angles.
Team Up! Explore Science & Sports
was developed by Discovery Center Museum and the Family Museum
of Arts and Science as part of the TEAMS (Traveling Exhibits
at Museums of Science) Collaborative, with major funding from
the National Science Foundation. As much as possible, Team
Up! components have been made accessible to all visitors.
