This is what we mean when we say physical science.
Walk into Newton’s Alley, and you’ll quickly see why this is one of the Science Center’s most popular exhibits. Pull yourself up to the stars in a chair. Play a string-less harp. Touch a cloud. See sound. Everything in Newton’s Alley is driven by people power.

Newton’s Alley houses some of the best demonstrations of Sir Isaac’s principles using active exploration. These are the exhibits that parents remember from their school days and the ones kids talk about when they get back from field trips. Try them yourself—but save some energy for the rest of the Science Center.
