In addition, special Magic School Bus activities are scheduled from 10: 00- 11: 00 a. m. on Tuesday and Thursday mornings through Labor Day. The topics of the Magic School Bus activities and the dates they are being offered are as follows: Create Puzzles and Games ( Aug. 4, 6); Try Making Magnetic Pictures ( Aug. 11, 13); Shadow Puppet Theater ( Aug. 18, 20); Old Fashioned Toys ( Aug. 25, 27); and Optical Illusions ( Sept. 1, 3). The sessions cost $ 5 each. Both children and adults enjoy the exhibits that provide real- world examples to better understand the laws of physics. Museum visitors can learn while they play. Exhibits include optical illusions, giant bubble machines, the spin table and spinning chair, a giant xylophone, a Bernouli's Law cone, a large sand pendulum, and a big kaleidoscope. Other exhibits allow visitors to take apart old computers, telephones, toasters, answering machines and other devices to explore what is inside them. The Museum in Motion, which is located in the SDSM& T Old Gym ( next to the Museum of Geology), will remain open through Labor Day. Hours are 9: 00 a. m. to 4: 00 p. m. Monday through Saturday. Admission is $ 2 per person or $ 10 per family. Special group rates for non- profit organizations and child care providers are available.
