How much “pedal power” does it take to keep the lights on in your house? Young visitors at the Children’s Museum of Branch County can now find out, thanks to a partnership between the Children’s Museum and the Coldwater Board of Public Utilities.
A newly-installed interactive exhibit at the Children’s Museum, “The Pedal Power,” encourages visitors to pedal a bike to keep the lights on in four different rooms of a house display. Every time a light switch is turned on, the bike gets progressively harder to pedal until all four light switches are on and the “pedal power” is significant.
