While you’re there, take a look at the Bone Zone.
The exhibit is comprised of nine displays that feature interactive games, hands-on activities, entertaining videos, and information about bone health, diet, and exercise.
With displays such as Your Bones Are Alive, The Incredible Bone Crusher and The Amazing Bone Builder the exhibit explores calcium and provides activities to determine which foods provide the best equivalent of three cups of milk per day.
Some of the activities include a fun house mirror and a simulated X-ray machine. A computer game tests your ability to make good food and exercise choices in order to build a healthy skeleton. The exhibit centerpiece is The Hip Joint with a dance floor to tap out a tune with your feet.
The exhibit was created by the Purdue Agriculture Exhibit Design Center with support from the Indiana Dairy and Nutrition Council.
