Science et, a smaller,
touring version of the Centre
upholds the tradition
The Circus,currently, in
Goderich. until May 15;=is a
touring show of about 40
euitibits. Everything there is
meant to intrigue; surprise,
- or stretch the,` mind. The
exhibits melude anything
from rope -and ring puzzles,
to a bicycle-ppowered radio,
to an electroniie synthesizer.
"The exhibits are • mien -
Wed •to, a hands-on idea,"
says Earl Sweeney, one of
the staff at the Science
Circus.. By hands-on, he
means that people, can ac
tively experiment with the
exhibits, and by working
with their hands they can
more easily learn what the
exhibit is supposed to teach.
The most, popular exhibits,
says Sweeney, are the sound
synthesizer, the talking
typewriter, the talking
adding machine, and the hot-
air balloon.
The staff also gives a
regular show, which includes
a demonstration of the Van
de Graaff machine—that's
the big silver ball that makes
your hair stand on end.
The Science Circus is kept
busy with seven scheduled
school tours a day. Public
school classes from across
the county come in for an
hour each to experiment
with the displays and to see a
demonstration.
Sweeney says they get a lot
of adults at the Circus too.
He says the children who
come in the day bring their
parents back at night to show
them around. The children
end up teaching their
parents what they learned.
earlier. Altogether, about 600
visitors come to the Circus
each day,

The Ontario tours are
funded entirely by the
provincial government.
Sweeney says the Science
Centre was a gift to 'the
people of Ontario for the
Canadian Centennial. "With
the tours, everyone gets the
chance to share the gover-
nment's gift to the provin-
ce."
Sweeney says, the Science
Centre is unique because it is
one of the few totally hands-
on museums in Canada. The
Centre's staff members are
all professionals in different
scientific fields.
The touring Science Circus
changes staff every few
days. Sweeney says this
keeps the staff fresh for the
large numbers of people who
come to the Circus each day.
The new staff can often
better explain or demon-
strate the exhibits which are
in their own field of study.
The Science Centre was
contacted first about a year
ago by the Business
Improvement Association.
