Fun
& education at the Gravity Discovery Centre
Science, education, experiments andÖ fun! They can
and do go together at the Gravity Discovery Centre
to make for a great day out for the whole family.
Climb the Leaning Tower of Gingin all the way to the
top, the height of a 13-storey building. Through specially designed
chutes you can drop water filled balloons and watch them free fall at
great speed. Observe them hit the ground with a big ìbangî.
Galileo conducted similar experiments over 440 years ago from the
Leaning Tower of Pisa. Was he correct in his observations and
theories? Find out
for yourself.
There are so many things to discover: What are black
holes? What is a gravity wave? Has anyone ever seen one? How does
gravity work? The answers to all these questions can be found at the
Gravity Discovery
Centre.
Stargazers CafÈ serves home made lunches, delicious
cakes and coffees.
Visit the Gravity Discovery Centre soon at 1098
Military Rd, Gingin, just an hour north of Perth off Wanneroo Road.
