WHAT:   Come learn how to get fit with the Children's Museum of Houston!  We’re dedicating a whole week to physical health and getting ourselves into shape. The healthier we are in our decisions (choosing to exercise and eating well), the easier it will be for us to play and have fun! Come work your way through PowerPlay, buy some fruits and vegetables from the grocery store in Kidtropolis, USA and grab a healthy snack from the Kids Café before taking your new healthy habits home!
 
ON-GOING ACTIVITIES:
Fitness Lap Counter – Make a lap-counter to keep track of how many times you’ve walked or run around the block, park or track.
Fit Family Goals – Make a list of fitness goals for your family to try to meet and to hang up in your house.
Encouragement Signs – Make a poster to cheer on a family member at a local race or just in their day-to-day quest for fitness.
The Biggest Loser: Take the family fit challenge and receive a tracker to guide you through getting fit and eating healthy in PowerScience Lab.
Biomechanics: Bodies as Machines. Have you ever used a lever before? Did you know that your arm is a built-in lever? Have you ever wondered how you are able to stand on one foot and not fall over? We are going to learn about simple machines like those in your body and explore the concept of a center of gravity in Science Station.
