Dear Colleagues,

A new subscriber to the ASTC listserv, I am director of the Hall of
Health, a small museum (6,200 square feet) in downtown Berkeley. I have
a couple of questions that perhaps you can help me with:

1) Do you know of any good research papers that demonstrate the
effectiveness of hands-on, inquiry-based learning in science at the
elementary school level, particularly in biology or health?

2) Does your museum have an interactive exhibit on social and genetic
factors in health that would be appropriate for a small museum or has
components that could be adapted for a small museum?

Thanks for your help--
Lucy Day
