Do you miss classes in physics you had at school? Or do you want your children to get interested in the subject? Then there is a museum you should definitely visit.

Basic laws of physics are demonstrated in a museum called Experimentarium in Moscow. It is designed for children. However, 60% of parents who accompany their children can’t explain the physical phenomena represented in the museum. It’s sad as elementary laws of physics must be known by anybody. The balls in the picture demonstrate the laws of preservation of energy and impulse.
