WonderWorks has an array of exhibits that help educate people about science. The newest exhibit on earthquakes, called Good Vibrations, opens June 11, 2021 in Panama City and June 3, 2021 in Pigeon Forge. Good Vibrations will spotlight Tuckaleechee Caverns, and how they document seismic activity around the world. The new exhibit was a topic request from educators, so it seemed appropriate that they also name the exhibit.
The Tuckaleechee Caverns are home to the most sensitive seismic station on Earth. It detects any and all tectonic movement anywhere in the world. If a country is testing a nuclear weapon or there is an earthquake, it has that information within seconds. Once it does, within 300ths of a millisecond, it relays that important information directly to the U.S. Military; Vienna, Austria and Geneva, Switzerland. The information is collected 24/7 and is crucial to national security, as well as being able to provide earthquake information.
The exhibit, Good Vibrations will help share the importance of the Tuckaleechee Caverns and what they are doing in monitoring seismic activity. The information in the exhibit meets the educational standards on earthquake and seismic activity, and is one of WonderWorks’ many STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) related learning exhibits. The exhibit name was suggested by teachers.

WonderWorks Syracuse is unveiling a new exhibit, Sphere We Go!, that will spotlight the Earth’s layers, or spheres. The focus of the exhibit will be on the areas that make up STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). The new exhibit will open on June 4, 2021, and will be included in the regular admission fee.
The STEM exhibit will feature information about Earth’s four spheres, or layers. The layers include the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere (or geosphere). Included will be written information, images, and a 3D hologram high-definition video that won’t require special glasses to enjoy. By watching the video, guests will obtain a visual explanation of each layer and how they work together to create the planet that we live on.
