Exhibit shows kids how we can make the world a better place.
There are a series of difficult challenges that affect us all. One of them is the environment. What can we do to keep earth a healthy place to live? Debuting May 24 through Sept. 7, 2008 at the Children's Museum of Houston, My Home, Planet Earth reveals the answers. This bilingual, hands-on exhibit is designed for children to understand how the choices they make now regarding food, water and air, impact their health and environment in the future. Join Riff and Rosie, two delightful squirrels on a mission to trace the source of pollution in their town of Bright Water Corners. Alongside their beaver-scientist friend, Castor Slaptail, use science as a tool for investigating the environment and finding a solution. Get a glimpse of what scientists have to do to collect and identify waste samples. View images of dust mites with a video microscope while learning about common allergens. Use special black light technology to detect hidden allergens and pollutants lurking in Rosie’s doll house or find out what makes Rosie sneeze while playing The Allergies: True or False? game. You’ll even get to navigate dust particles through a gigantic nasal passage in The Big Achoo! |
