Andrea,
In setting up a science lab, LSI would hope that the highest standards
laboratory safety programs would be included: prudent practices, protective
equipment and protective facilities.
LSI would welcome questions from museums interested in developing or
improving their lab safety program or the environmental health and safety program
for their organization. ... Jim Kaufman

Maine Discovery Museum is Maine's largest children's museum, and our target
audience is children from birth to age 12 and their accompanying adults.
We're beginning to discuss possible collaborations with a genetics research
lab in our area, and I've been following recent postings about genetics
exhibits with some interest. Does anyone know of an exhibit/area in a
science or children's museum, other than an actual classroom or lab, that
gives visitors a role-playing/hands-on experience of working in a science
lab?
Ideally, this would be a room or area that could be used by children without
staff facilitation, though the space and activities could be "opened up" and
augmented when staff or volunteers were available and there could be access
to running water.
Thank you,
Andrea Stark
