Activities To Try At Home


Make a Stretch-O-Meter!



Image Caption: Mimi Koehl

Mimi Koehl calls herself a nature mechanic. She is a biomechanist, which is someone who studies how living things work physically. In one of her studies she wondered how sea anemones could withstand high-powered waves. She had a question and set out to answer it, that is what science is all about. Read her story and then become a biomechanist yourself and make your own Stretch-O-Meter so you can measure the stretch factor of things in and around your home. Boys dont worry you can try this too!
