Your mission — should you choose to accept it — is to explore the museum and gain as much knowledge as possible!
“Pull” yourself into high “gear” as you search the museum for artifacts that contain pulleys and gears. Discover how prevalent these simple machines can be!
This scavenger hunt booklet, all about pulleys and gears, helps guide you and your students to fun and learning as you discover all that our galleries have to offer. Remember, youth 12 years and under must always be accompanied by an adult.
