The "Tower of the Senses"

A group of students invents a system of grooves, in which a ball seems to accelerate.

Pupils evaluate the interactive museum "Turm der Sinne" in Nürnberg. There they get ideas for a course to produce permanent scientific exhibits at their school-hall. During their work, the group invents a system of grooves, in which a ball seems to be accelerated. They calculate, design and build a wooden model of it.

This system of grooves shall now be installed in the big "Ames-room" at the museum. You can see a video of it at www.turmdersinne.de.
