Animal Sounds

Identify the different animal sounds heard by wearing headphones and moving them across the picture of animals in an environment.

Animal Visions

Mimic the vision of different creatures by wearing goggles with modified lenses.

Balance

Test balancing ability by standing on a small pivoted platform while a timer runs.

Body parts

Try to identify casts of different human body parts by feeling the casts inside the hidden boxes. Their identities can be revealed by lifting the flaps after feeling them.

Digestion

Listen to phones being moved across a ‘talking’ picture of the human digestive system and find out what happens to food as it passes along the alimentary canal.

Fossil Find

Identify the source of a set of fossils arranged in time sequence, using the picture key.

Human Torso

Arrange a set of internal organs into their correct places inside a full-size human torso, then replace them into the correctly labelled compartments.

Key

Classify a number of creatures set inside resin blocks by viewing them with magnifying glasses and using the key based on a number of defining characteristics.

Reaction Timer

Test reaction times using a time lapse display, by pushing a button as quickly as possible after a light or sound trigger is seen or heard.

Skeleton Hand

A model of a human hand and wrist showing bones and tendons can be operated by flexing the fingers of the hand individually using the push-rod buttons.

Sunflower

A large model plant stimulates plants abilities to use light energy. By moving the leaves the light uptake can be maximised and shown on a meter set inside the flower head.

Video Microscope

The image produced by a microscope is displayed on a monitor and samples provided can be examined in excessive detail.
