New at MOAS
The Charles and Linda William’s Children’s Museum is scheduled to open Friday,
November 21, 2008 and will be the first hands-on science center in Volusia County. Its
purpose is to stimulate curiosity, creativity, and learning through fun, interactive exhibits
designed especially for children.
The 6,200 sq. ft. addition to the current 3,100 sq. ft. Children’s Wing will be renamed the
Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum. The resulting 9,300 sq. ft. space will
house professionally designed interactive exhibits geared especially toward children that
will demonstrate various principles of science, engineering and physics.
These exhibits have been selected in order to support the Sunshine State Standards. The
Children’s Museum will facilitate hands-on, inquiry-oriented experiences in order to
develop scientific reasoning in young students. Primary funding for this project has been
provided by Charles and Linda Williams and Volusia County Echo.

Just a few of the exciting
exhibits that will be featured in the
Charles & Linda Williams Children’s Museum
Pizza Place
This exhibit includes a space where young visitors can
practice both creative and commerce skills in a fun environment. At Pizza Place, visitors can try on cooks’ hats
and aprons, create a soft sculpture pizza using real pizza
pans and peels, bake a pizza in a lighted brick “oven,”
ring up the pizza on a cash register and deliver to customers seated at small café tables. This experience
encourages creativity and cooperation while building
essential math and life skills.
Electric Circuits
Visitors get the opportunity to explore basic electrical components and circuits with easy-to-assemble “building
blocks.” Through experimentation, students can grasp concepts such as current, polarity and Ohm’s Law. This activity
engages people of all ages and can support
individual and group experiences.
Laser Harp
The Laser Harp provides an elegant encounter
between science and music in an unusual and creative
real world application. The instrument creates music
when visitors’ hands play beams of light instead of traditional harp strings. By pressing a button on the harp’s
throat, visitors can select different sound sets from which
to create their own musical compositions.

Call 386.255.0285 to make a reservation! I moas.org
Pull Yourself Up
Visitors hoist their own bodies with the help of three
different pulley systems that provide different
amounts of mechanical advantage. By trying each
pulley, visitors can compare their efforts and make
real-world connections between machines and labor.
Race Track
The race track gives visitors the chance to design, build
and test race cars on a large figure-eight track. This exhibit
is highly open-ended, giving visitors of all ages and
experience levels a rewarding experience that
grows in complexity with repeated visits.
Roller Coaster Ball Fall
Visitors construct a course for a ball to roll through without stalling,
dropping out, or jumping the track during a hairpin turn. The variety
and flexibility of the construction system allows visitors to design a
number of track configurations each time they visit in order to design
the biggest, coolest and fastest roller coaster possible.
Strobe String
This exhibit allows the visitor to “freeze” the
action of a rotating string and see how things
move in waves and create different visual
patterns. This exhibit provides an excellent background into the everyday uses
of technology, such as moving motors
and fans.
Tennis Ball Launcher
With the power of air pressure, this exhibit launches a
tennis ball up into the air. The visitor uses a pulley system
to lift a bowling ball. When the ball is released, it compresses air in a cylinder, which travels to another tube
holding a tennis ball. This tennis ball is then propelled by
the air out of the tube, caught by a conical net and finally
funneled back to the tube for the next shot.
