Science Interactives & Interactive Exhibitions

Rainford Models have made hundreds of educational science interactive models for schools, exhibitions, museums and visitor centres across the world. Our in-house expertise and specialist equipment means that we can make science interactives and interactive exhibits in a wide variety of materials and formats.

A few examples of the mini science interactive models that we have made are shown below.

This fun museum interactive has an electronically vibrated soft surface for the child to build thier structure on. They can then select different earthquake amplititudes by pressing and holding one of the three red buttons down and see how long it takes for their building to fall.

This simple museum interactive imitates a real seismograph. If you gently shake the table then your "Earthquake" will be recorded as a glowing trail on the rotating disc.

This museum interactive stands at just 600mm and is one of the smallest versions of this highly popular interactive exhibit. The fan's speed can be adjusted by turning the knob, and depending on the speed this exhibit produces a fascinating range of effects.

This simple and robust table-top museum interactive gives users a chance to design their own wind turbine by cutting and shaping "vanes" from sheets of Correx plastic. These can then easily be attached to the six brass rods that project from the turbines hub. The idea is to experiment with the size, shape and angle of your "vanes" to get the turbine to turn as fast of possible when the fan is activated by a push button.

This is one of our new designs. Use the red lever to pump the water up into the upper tank. Once it reaches a certain level it will automatically siphon down onto the turbine wheel. As the wheel turns it powers the generator which is connected to a milliammeter.

This interactive exhibit allows you to see the unique properties of your eye. Simply put one eye against the red eye piece and press the red button. This will allow you to watch how the muscles of your eyes react to light, making your pupil bigger or smaller. The patterns in your iris are also special as no-one else in the world will have one exactly the same as yours.

Lean down between the two mirrors and look into the lower one to see the reflection of the upper mirror. Move your head until the small lamp in the upper mirror is shining into your ear. This will allow you to study the patterns in the folds of your ear, which your DNA makes unique to you.
