It has been brought to my attention that my earlier request was too
broad, I apologize.  I need some sort of research or statistics that
support the need of a new physics program in a children's science
center.  We are beginning the planning phase of an exciting new program,
but need to prove that physics is an area of study that should be
addressed in an informal setting.  I can find all sorts of research data
for physics in the classroom, but not any for physics outside the
classroom.  Maybe if someone has evaluation studies from science centers
of exhibitions and programs on physics.   Again, any help would be
appreciated.
