The newest exhibit to hit the Indiana State Museum will have kids and adults doing backflips – er, I mean kickflips!
Rad Science: Skatepark Physics rolled in to the museum last week and continues through January 3, 2016.
Jump into the physics behind this extreme sport, with a realistic skate park scene showcasing 25 interactive experiences, including:
- Board Balance: Test your balance on stationary skatebaords on the safety of a padded surface.
- Newton’s Pool: Go inside an empty swimming pool to experiment with the laws of motion, tracing back to the origin of extreme skateboarding.
- Wipeout Ambulance: See how inventions like helmets, kneepads and wrist guards have helped dissipate the extreme forces of a wipeout.
This Saturday, September 12th only, check out the ISM Skatepark! A portable skatepark will be installed on the front lawn. You can participate in Skate Trick Clinics, where community skaters provide paid lessons to instruct guests how to learn to ride a skateboard (beginner level) and other guests how to perform select techniques (intermediate level).
