Sportsworks explores the science of sports, how human bodies work, and design, materials and technologies of sports equipment. This exhibition encourages children to learn about their own bodies’ strengths and skills, exploring how their heart and lungs work and watching their muscles and bones in action.
Children can test their skills as a rock climber, snowboarder or race against Cathy Freeman and discover their own talents and sporting profiles.
Personal Development and Science learning outcomes are incorporated as well as History through investigating the development of a range of sports and sports people.
