Newton's Corner
Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas, Pine Bluff
Experience Newton’s three Laws of Motion in a variety of medium at Newton's Corner, and see how they relate to real world situations in your life! In this exhibit, you will compare and contrast Newton’s three laws of motion and explain how Newton’s laws apply to real world situations (e.g., sports, transportation). Investigate the relationship between force and motion, force and mass, and force and direction while recognizing different types of forces such as gravity, friction and magnetic forces.

October 2, 2010 - March 2011
Illusion Confusion
Museum of Discovery, Little Rock
Put your senses to the test as you experience how perceptions often seem to fool even science! From mirrors to mazes to refracting light, you’ll learn that you can't always believe what you see.

October 2, 2010 - March 2011 
Astronomy: It's a Blast!
Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources, Smackover
In this out-of-this-world exhibit, you are transported to outer space to discover how high a space shuttle can fly. Race to launch water-powered rockets, and touchdown a space shuttle on a runway. Experience for yourself the physics of how we get to space and back.

October 2, 2010 - March 2011 
Arkansas Rocks, Rivers and Roadcuts
Mid-America Science Museum, Hot Springs
Ever wonder when you drive around your neighborhood why you see creeks, rocks, hills or flat lands? Or how earthquakes, caves, and diamond mines can all be found in one state? Find out how your stretch of the road fits in with this hands-on, interactive “road map” to Arkansas’ geology.

Exploring the Frontier
University of Arkansas Discovery Zone, Fayetteville
The Mississippi River was very important in the development of the United States. Native American culture was thriving in this region when Spanish explorers penetrated the area in the 1500s, followed by the French and English — all seeking adventure, fortune, or souls. Exploring the Frontier ignites the imagination and challenges the intellect while setting the story of the Arkansas experience as a crossroads of many cultures.

Nanotechology: What's the Big Deal?
Arkansas State University Museum, Jonesboro
“Nanotechnology: What’s the Big Deal?” introduces facts and dispels myths about the important field of nanoscience. At the ultra-tiny nanoscale, common materials can behave in unusual ways. Scientists are working to understand this phenomenon and how it applies to our lives. In this exhibit you will see what a billion (and one-billionth) of something looks like. You can manipulate the size of a quantum dot to see its strange changing properties. You will also watch as floating molecules move themselves into an orderly pattern. These are just some of the amazing facts you will learn about nanotechnology.
