Among the stations are a mirror maze, a zero-gravity room, a table where heads are (seemingly) detached from bodies and the Ladder to the Centre of the Earth, which tests depth perception.\u00a0 On the less educational side, the examples double as selfie\/social-media opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Science center members can preview \u201cPhenomena\u201d from 10 a.m. to noon Sunday.
