Wonderful World of Waste Exhibit

Kids can get down and dirty at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale where the “Wonderful World of Waste” interactive exhibit teaches them about how waste-to-energy plants turn household garbage into electricity. Kids turn a few cranks and garbage (simulated by a grey block) is carried on a conveyor belt where a pretend fire lights up, steam forms, and a turbine fan starts working, providing electricity to the house that produced the garbage.

Recycling commercials and a 13-minute video “All About Garbage” play continuously throughout the day.
