Math Moves
Immerse yourself in the world of large and small, shadows and shapes, motion and sound. Listen, watch, and feel what happens when you change the pitch and frequency of sounds, use your body as a unique unit of measure, or make your own stop-motion film. Exploring ratio and proportion helps build a strong mathematical foundation.
This exhibit was produced in partnership by the Museum of Life and Science, Explora, Museum of Science-Boston, and Science Museum of Minnesota, with support from the National Science Foundation.
Partner Motion
Discover how your rate of motion affects a custom digital graph. Walk back and forth slowly then try again quickly, how does the graph change? Grab a partner and see how your motion graphs compare!
Balance and Imbalance
Explore how weight and location of weight can affect the way things balance.
Movie Ratios
Make a movie using stop motion. Adjust the speed or length and see how different frame rates change your creation.
