Dream Green

The Science Discovery Museum (177 Main St., Acton) is home to the Dream Green Exhibit, where you can learn about green design, energy conservation, sustainability and much more. Similar to warm clothing in the winter, insulation keeps houses warmer using less energy. Explore insulation and heat energy transfer using special thermal imaging cameras.

Try on capes and mittens and see yourself in infrared, while learning which fabrics insulate the best. Build your own model home with various types of insulation and discover where heat escapes utilizing a thermal imaging camera. Create a list of choices for energy conservation at home and register for a free home-energy audit.
