CMoR’s Newest Addition will be SO-lar Fun!

Outside the temperature may be getting cooler, but inside the Children’s Museum, things are heating up! Excitement is rising as we wait for the opening of our newest exhibit – Sun Tubes.

Sun Tubes, provided by Dominion, is a solar energy exhibit that’s designed to show kids through play how the suns energy can be used for power.  Insert colored scarves and watch as they soar through a clear-tube maze that’s powered by solar panels on the museum roof. While you’re there make sure to check out the video to learn more about solar energy.

Sun Tubes is a part of CMoR’s ongoing effort to develop a generation of “green keepers.” By demonstrating renewable energy and its efficiency, we believe the exhibit will help to nurture environmental thinking and stewardship as well as establish a sense of respect for our planet.

The exhibit will be located at the entrance of the main exhibit floor providing a warm (pardon the pun) welcome for visitors as soon as they cross the bridge.
