Stare at the center of the rotating spiral for 30 seconds, then look at a stationary object like the back of your hand. This illusion works because our eyes become fatigued. Staring at the disk as it keeps spinning in the same direction desensitizes motion-detecting cells in our eyes, and they don't respond to change as quickly as other cells.

We had a great time playing with construction equipment! COSI explained the science behind how all the equipment worked, and the Ohio Contractors Association helped us learn.

The pendulum at COSI is a visitor favorite. It demonstrates that the Earth rotates at 790 mph! Science shows that as the Earth moves, it carries COSI with it, and COSI carries the pendulum, giving the illusion that the pendulum is moving in a circle.

little kidspaceŽ is a permanent exhibition area where your child can climb, slide, build, splash, imagine, pretend and play.
From infants to kindergartners, the
smallest scientists can strengthen their emerging skills individually or within a social space inside little kidspaceŽ.
Watch a live surgery via videoconference at COSI or remotely through a school's connection. COSI connects real scientists and goes into situations the general public can't easily see.

We're having fun with air pressure today! Fast moving air is characterized as low pressure. When fast moving air collides with slowing moving air (high pressure) some lift is created... besides the kids love toilet paper!
