BODY IMAGE
Visitors distort a mirror from convex to concave which in turn presents them with a series of self images from over weight to under weight.Visitors can adjust the mirror until they find a point that most closely resembles their view of themselves and then check a reference scale
(located out of direct sight on the side of the exhibit) to see if they have over or under estimated their weight.

GREAT ESCAPE PUZZLES
The Great Escapes are a set of puzzles based on a branch of mathematics known as 'Topology' which deals with how things are connected. The puzzle pieces look interlocked but in fact they are not, and it is possible for them to come apart in some fashion.There are twelve different puzzles in the set ranging in difficulty levels from moderately challenging to very difficult and each set comes with instructions and solutions. The puzzles are engaging, pleasant to handle, extremely robust to withstand continuous use in science center and museum environments.
