The visitor will touch and move the control points of the airplane in the open part of the device and in this way he/she will be able to see the change in the movements of the airplane in the lantern. Thus, they will witness the effect of the control points not only on the surface they touch but also on the airplane.

It is a device that deals with the selection of economical light bulbs based on the amount of electricity consumed by different types of light bulbs. There are 3 different types of light bulbs on the table: incandescent lamp, CFL (fluorescent), LED. To produce the same amount of light, LED bulb needs 9 W, CFL needs 13 W and incandescent lamp needs 60 W electricity.

While visitors watch the causes and consequences of climate change from the acrylic sphere placed to represent our world, they answer a question-and-answer application that teaches us what we need to do to reduce our carbon footprint with the question-and-answer content that will appear on the screens and they will be scored.

Trees can live for hundreds, sometimes even thousands of years. During this long life, a tree can face a variety of environmental
conditions: wet years, dry years, cold years, hot years, early frosts, forest fires, etc. The
age rings of a tree tell us about the age of the tree and the regional climate in the years it lived.
The visitor can predict the climatic conditions in those years based on the shapes and colors of the tree rings.

Seasons are formed because the Earth’s tilt towards the Sun changes along its orbit. The Earth’s axis is tilted by about 23 degrees and this tilt plays a critical role in the formation of the seasons. Using a turntable, you can observe which seasons occur in the northern and southern hemispheres in different months and explore the reasons for these changes.

By turning the hand pedals, visitors, one or three at a time, can observe the operation of the instruments to which this energy is transferred by feeding the generator that converts the energy of movement into electrical energy by turning the pedals in the unit assembly. While turning the hand pedals, they observe how much they turn with the gradual led under the base. The light bulb, propeller and radio will continue to work as long as the visitors generate electricity.

The visitor will find 5 augmented reality containers with categories of waste described on the touch screen. Some white, unmarked physical waste objects are present in the storage area. The visitor can scan them with RFID IDs to see exactly what they are. The waste objects symbolize different categories. Visitors should try to throw the waste objects into the correct container as soon as possible. The virtual containers will show in red or green whether they put the object in the right (green) or wrong (red) container.

The unit is shaped like a podium with light boxes and the images contained in each box. The boxes are pressure sensitive and give a sound/light warning. The aim is to avoid stepping on the boxes with images representing “harmful” content and to complete the walk by stepping on the boxes with “useful” content.
