Milwaukee: This fall, Discovery World and the Greater Milwaukee Foundation bring to Wisconsin "Physics & You," an exciting, fun and hands-on permanent exhibit that explores gravity, aerodynamics, lift and drag, electricity and electromagnetism, and Newton’s Laws of Motion.

Through six interactive displays, "Physics & You" explores some of the fundamental forces of the universe by allowing visitors to build and launch rockets, connect a maze of circuits, construct and sail air cars, and much more. The new exhibit, which opens on Oct. 15, is presented in partnership with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation.

"Discovery World is excited to unveil 'Physics & You' to the community in partnership with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation," said Discovery World President and CEO Joel Brennan. "In 1665, a falling apple gave rise to Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of gravity and motion. More than 350 years later, kids can learn and apply those same laws by blasting off a rocket or racing a car in this interactive new exhibit that brings physics to life in fun and exciting ways."

"Physics & You" features these six stations:

• Air Cars: Grab a car off the shelf, customize it for speed and experience Sir Isaac Newton’s Third Law of Motion firsthand while racing a friend to the finish line.
• Air Rockets: Visitors can choose a rocket or build their own, place it on the launch pad and witness Newton’s First Law of Motion right in front of you.
• Circuit Bench: Connect a maze of circuits to complete a connection with the device you want to power. No external power required!
• Ring Launcher: Crank a generator to charge the capacitors that launch the ring. Experiment with different ring sizes, weights and designs to achieve new results.
• Sailing Cars: All of the sailing, none of the water! Did you know the best angle to sail into wind is at 45 degrees? The vessel must zig-zag, or "tack," from starboard to port to reach a destination from which the wind is blowing.
• Vertical Flyer: Up, up, and away! As the objects enter the air column, notice how different versions react to the same amount of force from the air.

The opening of "Physics & You" will also coincide with the Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Gifts to the Community program on Oct. 15 that offers a special, one-day opportunity to explore Discovery World, Betty Brinn Children’s Museum, Milwaukee Art Museum, and the Port Washington Historical Society’s Port Exploreum and 1860 Light Station for free.
