ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
As part of an exhibition, Marvelous Molecules-The Secret of Life, an
exhibition about the shared chemistry of living things we developed a
discovery lab in which families can explore topics related to and
explored in the exhibition. It is a lab that is facilitated, entirely
free of potentially noxious chemistry and the activities are designed
so that that can also be done at home. If you wish you, or anyone can
download the activities plus a guide to their use in a classroom (or
museum) classroom or discovery room. Go to

Let me know if you need any more information.
Cheers,
Martin
