Healthy You Weekends in November

November 3, 2024 @ 12:00 pm 5:00 pm

What keeps our bodies healthy and strong? Why do we need to eat our fruits and vegetables? Why is it important to exercise? Discover the answers at the reopening of MODS’ Healthy You exhibit! See how fast your reflexes work by testing them with unique exercises and test your mental skills by solving brain teasers.

  • Activities in the MODS Makerspace:  See how the human body moves by investigating how your tendons, ligaments, muscles and bones work together. Take a fresh breath of air in the Science Park for calming yoga moves in nature. Step into the world of VR and AI and investigate the human phenomenon of our body.
  • Animal Encounters: Meet our resident animals and learn what it takes to keep them healthy and strong! 
  • Watch an IMAX on the GIANT Screen: Into America’s Wild, Reasons for Hope, Back from the Brink and more!
  • Career Connections: Explore the careers of healthcare workers and see how athletes keep their bodies in peak condition.

Just for early learners (ages 0-6):  Learn about healthy habits by creating a healthy plate and sorting food. Move your body with our mindfulness movement by stretching, marching and participating in obstacle courses. Learn the importance of washing your hands and keeping clean from germs.
