Exhibit Description Key Themes Subject Areas Innovation Factory Exhibits about gears Gear Race Combine small, medium and large gears and turn a physics, mechanics, Physics forces & motion – handle to race a toy camel and a toy horse along a machines, gears, force, (inertia, gravity, push, pull, track. Different sized gears can be used to magnify force speed, ratio acceleration) or distance (speed) as mechanical advantage. Technology Go Go Gears Interlock rows of different sized gears and make an physics, mechanics, Physics forces & motion – illusion disc spin. Different sized gears can be used to machines, gears, force, (inertia, gravity, push, pull, magnify force or distance (speed) as mechanical speed, ratio acceleration) advantage. Technology Exhibit Description Key Themes Subject Areas Innovation Factory Exhibits about levers Levels of Levers Push or lift each lever to assess whether you need to physics, mechanics, Physics forces & motion – use more or less effort, or you need to shift the lever machines, levers, force, (inertia, gravity, push, pull, more to lift the load. Different 'orders' or classes of distance, class, order, acceleration) levers have their fulcrum and load located in different effort, fulcrum, load, Technology positions relative to where effort is being used to work second-class, the lever. first order, second order, third order
