The Beach
- An exhibition area that creates synergy between all the exhibits.
- Developed together with the technological expertise of Science Projects.
- Targets all ages.
Buoyancy Man
This exhibit shows two ever-present natural phenomena: water’s buoyancy and the earth’s gravity.
A doll of adult size and weight, constructed out of HDPE plastic, floats in a water-filled tank. The visitor can pull a rope that is attached to the doll. The more the doll’s body is lifted out of from water’s surface, the heavier the doll becomes.
The water’s buoyancy is no longer exerting force as the earth’s gravity takes over.
Locks
We have added a new wow-effect to a science centre classic by constructing a figure-8 track, where the water counter-intuitively crosses over and under itself.
With the help of one of the locks, visitors can hoist the ship up and transport it over the lower water-track. Then they can hoist it back down and transport it under the upper part of the watertrack.
The ocean forms the coastline
This exhibit is an open experiment on erosion where visitors can experience the forces of the ocean.
A wave machine constructed with compressed air and a timer sends small and large waves up onto a bed of sand. There are small houses that visitors can place on the beach and then build dykes around to protect them against erosion.
Visitors can identify with this scenario making this exhibit a highly relevant comment on the challenges related to coastal protection that many areas face.
