Explore - Life-Sized Science

Centre des sciences de Montréal

MOTION: GO WITH THE FLOW

The whole world is in motion... and how! Explore the ingenuity of simple machines like pulleys, gears and levers (in life-size format!), let the gyroscopic effect take you for a spin then team up to light up a giant flash of lightning by converting your movements into electricity.

AIR: COME ENJOY SOME AIRPLAY

There's science in the air! Discover a somewhat invisible element whose force doesn’t need to be seen to be felt. Come harvest the wind, experiment with air pressure, get a feel of a tornado and be dazzled by the twists and turns of the air labyrinth.

LIGHT: SIMPLY BRILLIANT

Step into the spectrum of light and explore reflection, refraction, ultraviolet and infrared. Climb inside a giant kaleidoscope and have fun creating mind-bending special effects on our wall of light.

WATER: SOURCE OF DISCOVERY

Come splash it up around two wonderful water tables that reveal water's many strengths and the many inventions driven by this source of life. Build water circuits, admire a real-life vortex, and generate electricity, no less!

GEOMETRY: MATHEMATICS IN ACTION

Start at square one and come full circle as you discover fascinating phenomena that are sure to puzzle your intuition. Put mathematics and geometry to work using your ingenuity as you build a bridge, communicate using parabolic antennas and have fun discovering just how many forms nature designed to be as beautiful as they are efficient.

MATTER: BEDROCK OF ALL THINGS

Stimulate your grey matter as you admire the forms and properties of materials with your naked eye then delve into the infinite world of detail that hides under the microscope and magnifying glass. Discover the secrets of magnetic attraction and even learn how to shape matter into a giant bubble.

CODE: CRACK THE CODE

Parse through layers of wonder as you explore programming, connected objects, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. Compose music, make a robot dance, create animation sequences… just by programming a bit of code!
