On weekends we often end up at one of the local childrens museum since the kids love it. As it should be, these places focus on engaging and teaching while keeping the fun intact.
This particular exhibit is a steering mechanism that turns the pole (and everything attached to the pole) whenever the wheel is turned. How does it work? If you are an adult you say “gears”.
If you are a child, you might say “magic”.
On the side of the table there is a plexiglass window that shows how the gears work to turn the pole.
Education: 1
Magic: 0
Are there things we do everyday that appear to be happen magically to our public?
Maybe we should share the magic.
