Rotating Table

Have you ever wondered why storms seem to move along a curved path? It's a phenomenon called the "Coriolis effect," which states that objects on a rotating surface will move toward the opposite direction in which the surface is spinning-- so, if the surface is spinning to the right, the object will veer left, and vice-versa. Here at the Museum, we have a rotating table exhibit that shows this effect happening in real time:

Fun! Come experience the Coriolis effect and more, right here at the Museum of Discovery!
