A 12-foot tall tire, at about 8000 pounds was delivered to the Miami Science Museum (3280 S. Miami Avenue) recently which is being used as part of their Fuels of the Future exhibits. Tires like this are used on large trucks that mine tar sands, a material that contains oil.
The tire, which is on display, will just be part of the exhibit which shows what extremes we go through to get oil. Fuels of the Future addresses climate change and transportation and will address today's alternatives to today's gas guselling vehicles.
A solar powered car and an air-powered car will be on display, along with lots of hands-on activities. Visitors will also be able to make their own cars out of Legos.
By the way, Freddie the Chameleon (left) won "Best in Show'' and "People's Pick" at this years Lizard Day on July 18. Snake Day is August 15, for info on signing up your snake, please go here.
