Hello Listserv,
I am seeking advice about interactives to include in
an introductory level astronomy exhibit.

The purpose of the exhibit is to guide visitors
through an introductory level exploration of the
origin, structure, and composition of the universe.
The target audience is families with children age 6-12
years.

I am seeking animations and activities that make
abstract concepts less mind-boggling for visitors.
Specifically, I would like to include interactive
experiences to explain concepts such as the Big Bang,
galaxy collisions, and the life cycle of stars.

Does anyone on the list have experience with
interactive exhibits, activities, or visualizations
that exist to communicate introductory-level astronomy
concepts?

I would appreciate any leads you have (printed
material, software, DVDs, design firms, observatories,
science centers, professional organizations, research
labs, etc.)

Thank you for any information you can provide!
