Human Body Test

Our senses come alive at Morehead Planetarium and Science Center!

Science Live: Human Body Test is a celebration of human biology. In addition to learning fun facts about what makes us so special, we'll put our senses to the test with a variety of incredible demonstrations. We will use optical illusions to discover how our eyes and brain work together to produce sight. After that, we will see sounds with our amazing music and laser demonstration! This program is our latest and greatest Science Live! offering, guaranteed to leave your students with a sixth sense: the sense of wonder!

Our Science LIVE! programs allow students and teachers to interact with Morehead educators and the science of the world around them. Science LIVE! uses many different props and supplies to help convey science in a fun, engaging way. Throughout the presentation, volunteers from the audience are asked to go "on stage" and be part of the show by helping with demonstrations and experiments.

Visiting soon? Check out Morehead's interactive calendar to see what's happening when you'll be here. Just click the date — the interactive calendar is typically up-to-date within one week of today.

Please note that Morehead does not offer all of its shows every day and that exhibits may be closed for maintenance or for classes during some hours.

If you're planning to visit several weeks from today, check out our current schedule of public shows to plan your trip and check the interactive calendar just before your visit to learn about any schedule updates.

Please note that seasonal schedules change four times each year (spring, summer, fall and holiday), and some shows are not offered during every schedule.

In addition to its public shows, Morehead offers shows during the week especially for school classes and other field trip groups. These school shows do not appear on the seasonal schedule but do appear on Morehead's daily calendar.

If seats are available, the public may purchase tickets to school shows.

However, school groups with reserved seating have first priority on any remaining seats (for example, if extra chaperons attend), so Morehead cannot guarantee that public seats will be available for school shows.
