MISSOULA – “Motion,” one of the University of Montana spectrUM Discovery Area’s popular traveling exhibitions, will visit Ronan on Thursday, March 20.
Featuring hands-on exhibits and activities that explore the wonders of physics and engineering, Motion will transform the K. William Harvey School Gym into an interactive science museum. Highlights of the exhibition include a larger-than-life spinning turntable, a gravity well, Bernoulli Blower, flying cups and spectrUM’s ever-popular flight simulator.
Families and friends also are invited to attend the school’s Family Science Night from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the same day. During Family Science Night, K. William Harvey students will be able to share spectrUM’s Motion exhibit and many other community activities with family, friends and neighbors.
The spectrUM Discovery Area travels the state with a mobile science center featuring interactive exhibits. According to spectrUM Director Holly Truitt, the goal of spectrUM’s mobile outreach is to “help inspire Montana’s next generation of scientists, health care providers, engineers and visionaries.”
Since 2006, spectrUM has driven more than 22,100 miles to bring educators, exhibitions, and programs to 60 different schools in 23 Montana counties, including all seven Montana Indian reservations.
This stop on spectrUM’s mobile science tour is powered by the K. William Harvey School Parent Teachers Association and the NASA Summer of Innovation Program.
