3-2-1-Blast! off to Leonardo's

Leonardo’s Discovery Warehouse will receive a new exhibit next week that is sure to explode children’s curiosity of rockets, space travel and science.
The current Weather Works exhibit at Leonardo’s will be whirling away, making way for the new exhibit, titled “3 - 2 – 1 – Blast,” as a part of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation Oklahoma Museum Network rotating exhibits.
3-2-1 Blast allows visitors to investigate moving air and its interaction with objects in motion while discovering how aircraft design, center of gravity and forces of flight affect stability. While exploring the laws of physics, visitors break the boundaries of atmosphere as they dock with the International Space Station using specialized simulators contained within the exhibit. Visitors’ time management and navigational skills are also tested as they are tasked with locating a missing Martian rover before a dust storm terminates the mission.
“We are so excited to get the new exhibit,” said Julie Baird, Leonardo’s Executive Director. “Every exhibit within the Oklahoma Museum Network is tailored to ignite children’s imagination.”
The exhibit includes activities such as a paper airplane launcher, the Bernoulli Blast, Airheads, and Rocket Launch, all which the younger kids flock to. The older kids, and adults seem to really enjoy the Mars Flyer, said Kim Jones, Tulsa Air and Space Museum Curator.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, the rotating exhibit groups join the many other activities of the Oklahoma Museum Network featured at each of the museum partners. For more details, visit the Web site www.oklahomamuseumnetwork.org.
Leonardo’s Discovery Warehouse and Adventure Quest provides innovative educational opportunities and is dedicated to the idea that children of all ages learn best when having fun through hands-on exhibits and programs.
