New Exhibit 6 Museum of Discovery and Science Polar Express Weekends December 2 & 3 • 9 & 10 Noon - 4 p.m. Powerful Lungs Opens December 15, 2017 Did you know you can survive for a few days without water, a few weeks without food, but only a few minutes without oxygen? The lungs are one of the most important organs in the body. They supply the body with the oxygen it needs to function properly. This new exhibit will teach visitors about the anatomy and physiology of the lungs and about the importance of keeping your lungs healthy. Visitors will learn about how their choices will impact lung performance. They will also learn how smoking, COPD, asthma, and pneumonia impact lung function.
