A highly interactive, colorful exhibit that provides plenty of action and education by exploring the physics behind simple machines through exhibits that use balls. Witness how long a ball will remain levitated the fascinating powers of Bernoulli's principle, try the Bike Wheel Gyroscope, build and race a car you design, and lots more! LaBallotory is on loan to the Science Factory from the A.C. Gilbert's Discovery Village in Salem, Oregon.
