The
Discovery Center of Idaho
offers interactive exhibits which illustrate the wonders of
science. The Discovery Center is a laboratory for science discovery
and fun. Visitors are actively and directly involved in scientific
exploration; you DO something to learn the science behind the
exhibit. Each station allows for hypothesizing, experimentation,
and drawing conclusions. www.scidaho.org
