This paper draws on notions of embodied learning to inform exhibit design that fosters children's meaningful embodied engagement to successfully unveil science ideas. While children's interaction in the museum is often hands-on and speaks to the physical emphasis that embodiment brings, observation of children's spontaneous engagement at a museum's Water Zone revealed opportunities and barriers to engagement with, and access to, science ideas in terms of what we call 'embodied proximity' and 'embodied dislocation'. Drawing on design considerations from these findings a set of purpose-built prototype exhibits were developed and deployed to examine how they supported children's embodied exploration of science.

  • Traumatic floating clavicle, or bipolar dislocation, is a rare injury highlighted by a case of a 43-year-old man with dislocated sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints due to a motorcycle accident.
  • Radiographic imaging showed significant displacements, leading to confirmation of injuries at both ends of the clavicle, prompting the decision for surgical intervention given the patient's active lifestyle.
  • Post-surgery, which involved stabilizing the joints with specialized sutures, the patient experienced excellent recovery without complications at the one-year follow-up, and the text also reviews existing literature on this injury type and treatment options.
