She shoots, she scores!
Come meet our players and learn all about operant and classical conditioning as you watch two rats play basketball – no, we aren’t kidding. Check our daily schedule for demonstrations occurring during your visit.
Note: Rat basketball will be on pause for the month of March — they'll be back after they recharge their game.
The Science Museum uses classical and operant conditioning to train the rat players.
Demonstrations are explorations where participants watch and engage with a Science Museum educator who showcases amazing scientific experiments to guests.
