Interactive Physics Exhibits
Interactive physics exhibits for science centers and museums — marble runs, air cannons, lightning and wave tanks that make forces and energy visible.
The full Physics Exhibit Collection
The science of Physics, made hands-on
Physics is everywhere, but most of it is invisible. Our exhibits make forces, energy, light and waves something visitors can see, hear and feel — designed and built by Sertek for science centers and museums.
Plan your physics gallery
From the pull of gravity to the crack of a spark, physics shapes everything around us — yet it usually happens too fast, too small, or too silently to notice. Sertek’s physics exhibits slow it down and bring it into the open, giving visitors a hands-on way to experiment, predict and be surprised. Each one is engineered to turn a single principle into an unforgettable moment.
What visitors explore (concepts / curriculum)
Forces & motion
gravity, momentum, friction and the transfer of energy.
Air & pressure
how moving and compressed air pushes, lifts and carries.
Waves & sound
how energy travels, reflects and interferes.
Light & color
how light mixes, shifts and casts shadow.
Electricity
charge, current and the spark of high voltage.
Physics exhibit FAQs
Absolutely. We can weight a gallery toward forces and motion, waves, light, or electricity, and tailor the content and signage to the age groups and curricula you serve — from early-years play to secondary-school depth.
They’re engineered for exactly that. We use durable, high-traffic materials, design out the parts that typically jam or wear, and make consumables like marbles and balls easy to top up and contain. We also provide maintenance guidance so your team can keep everything running with minimal downtime.
Some light-based exhibits perform best with controlled lighting, and we plan for that during design — whether that means a shaded alcove, a hood, or adjusting the exhibit itself to suit your gallery’s lighting. We assess your space up front so each piece looks its best where it actually lives.
Both — and that’s the point. Each exhibit is built around a single principle and designed so the “fun” is the lesson: making a marble go faster teaches energy and momentum without anyone realizing they’re studying. We map every exhibit to clear STEM concepts, so curiosity and curriculum work together
