Labor Day weekend is the last chance for people to check out exhibits at the Orlando Science Center before they leave to make room for new experiences. Diabetes: A Deeper Look and Frogs all wrap up their engagements after September 6, 2010. This summer, these exhibits allowed families to explore and discover together issues such as health and wellness, the latest scientific research on tissue regeneration and uncover the reasons why amphibians are so important to our ecosystem.
Frogs features over 80 live frogs representing 20 species from all over the world while exploring their beauty, elegance, and importance to Earth’s fragile ecosystems. You’ll also discover fascinating facts about frog anatomy, lifecycle, vocalizations and adaptive coloring. All of these interactive exhibits will appeal to everyone’s innate sense of curiosity-both young and old.
Diabetes: A Deeper Look takes guests on a journey through an enormous blood vessel and demonstrate exactly how insulin works with the body. More than 24 million Americans are currently living with Diabetes with almost six million Americans living with the disease and not knowing that they have it. This exhibit is a colorful and engaging way to help people better understand diabetes, available treatment options, and the role insulin plays in the body. If A Starfish Can Grow A New Arm, Why Can’t I? will answer that very same questions for guests. This interactive display will bring the science on tissue regeneration to life for visitors and show them what the future holds for the science on tissue engineering through interactive mulitimedia displays.
