From Michelle:
3 main questions:

>-Do you offer demo/activity/make-n-take museum floor experiences while
school groups are in  your building?

We have demonstrations and theater pieces scheduled Wednesday - Sunday.
Each gallery also has volunteer and staff interpreters.  Some are more
structured activities, e.g., looking at aquatic invertebrates through a
microscope, playing some math games or doing chromatography (a make and
take- the only one I can think of).

>-Do you charge admission to the museum for school groups?

Yes

>-Who mainly does the activities - staff, volunteers, interns?

Mostly volunteers. Staff often develop the activities.
