About

Miami Museum of Science & Planetarium, Miami

Track the elder population's astonishing growth rate. Search for the biological secrets of aging - what causes aging and what can you do about it? Discover how animals age, or, in the case of the tortoise, do they? Play with puppets and learn about cooperation between young and old animals in the Mongoose Theater. Design an environment for an older "cage potato" rat that will stimulate brain activity. See how scientists can double or triple the life span of certain species and consider what that means to us. Marvel at the wonders of the human body and brain and observe changes that occur as we age. Can you affect the aging process? Find out in this fun and informative exhibit about biology, aging, animals, and you!
