Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Has anyone tested the effectiveness of written exhibition
guides? I am certain many of you have developed guides for
exhibitions. Are they used? Do they reach your goals? I am
considering developing a take-home guide (print) for parents to do
with their children (or teachers with their students) to expand
awareness or suggest activities beyond the exhibition.
We developed a set of home activities based upon our
biochemistry discovery lab. These are activities that were adapted
for home use based upon ease and safety but are more directed and
less open ended than a family guide to an exhibition on extremophiles
(microbes) or the search for life in the universe or evolution. Am I
trying to re-invent the wheel?
