What gives people the ability to easily lift themselves into the air or move a heavy object with just one finger? Discover the answer as you explore the astonishing power of pulleys and levers.
The hands-on exhibition features the Giant Telescoping Lever, the Pulley Chair and the Giant Biomechanical Hand. Other parts of the science exhibition include using a catapult to lay siege to a block castle, building a model of an amusement park ride, and, for very young children, using a bucket on a pulley to lift stuffed animals into a preschool treehouse.
Exhibition dates: June 5 - September 23. Note: WonderLab is closed on Mondays and for annual maintenance from August 27-September 4.
