Phenomenal fun<br />

The QVMAG Inveresk features the Phenomena<br />

Factory, a free-entry interactive science centre<br />

providing h<strong>and</strong>s-on education for kids of all ages.<br />

Challenge yourself in the Perception Tunnel or test<br />

your reactions while you touch, switch, pull <strong>and</strong> crank<br />

your way around the Phenomena Factory, actively<br />

learning about science along the way.<br />

Phenomena Factory exhibits include Death at a Distance,<br />

Dice with Death, Sniff a Snack, <strong>and</strong> Squeeze <strong>and</strong><br />

Serve—all from Questacon, the National Science <strong>and</strong><br />

Technology Centre in Australia. You will also find the<br />

Jaffa Machine donated by Hydro Tasmania which turns<br />

human mechanical energy into kinetic energy. Crank<br />

the h<strong>and</strong>le <strong>and</strong> sustain the energy output long enough<br />

<strong>and</strong> you’ll be rewarded with a jaffa.<br />

The Phenomena Factory was the result of a partnership<br />

between Bell Bay Aluminium <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Queen</strong> <strong>Victoria</strong><br />

<strong>Museum</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong>. Educational resources are<br />

available to download at www.qvmag.tas.gov.au.<br />
