Hello colleagues!  We are working on a initiative that will result in
some new exhibits and programming at our science center in Columbus.  I
am looking for examples of effective ways to explore the following
topics:  
- Native Prairie Ecosystem
- A Watershed as a natural system
- A building as a man-made system
- Comparing natural and man-made systems - how are they similar; how
are they different?
- Alternative energy systems and other means of reducing energy
consumption by buildings (such as green roofs)

If you know of anything at your facility or at a museum or nature
center you have visited, please reply.  I appreciate your help in
tracking down the best practices in our field.

Sincerely,

Sharon Tinianow
Education Project Manager
