Power of Science

Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science

From unlocking the mysteries of the universe to those inside our bodies, science is a powerful process to aid our understanding. We observe the world and ask testable questions as we try, fail, and try again. Science gives us a powerful tool to grasp and solve problems. Scientists from the University of Miami, take risks that lead to groundbreaking discoveries, highlighted at four scientific frontiers: our oceans, environment, bodies, and universe. Power of Science invites you to step into the shoes of these researchers, explorers, and inventors through a series of hands-on exhibits, cutting-edge interactives, rare specimens, an interactive floor, a deep dive into the periodic table of elements, a showcase of collection pieces and scientific instruments used across various scientific fields and more. Explore the scientific process by asking questions, gaining insight, and persevering through challenges, as you strive to reach a powerful new understanding about ourselves and our world.
In Power of Science, highlights include discovering the leading frontiers of scientific exploration, where bacteria transform Martian rock into 3D printed homes and innovative marine infrastructure encourages coral regeneration.
Museum EXP’s Cynthia Brown led the creative development of this exhibition. During this project she managed the relationships with University of Miami scientists and ensured that the STEM experiences were authentic to the science and research conducted.
