Exhibits included:
- Electrically wired model houses and a K’Nex car challenge (Grade 5 – Physical Science)
- A city of earthquake-resistant buildings designed and built by students, where a 7.0 magnitude earthquake was recreated to test how the buildings withstand the shaking (Grade 6 – Earth & Space Science)
- An oversized Periodic Table of the Elements to learn about the materials in everyday objects (Grade 7 – Physical Science)
- A tour of the insides of the eyes, ears, nose, and more (Grade 8 – Anatomy & Physiology)
- The rare pygmy Pitch Pine fire in the Pine Barrens (Grade 9 – Ecology)
