Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

When Judy Koke was at the DMNS, she did a study of exhits designed using some research finding based on female science learning. Interesting study. As I remember it, the difference was that contextualized phenomena were more friendly to female learning than phenomena present withou context. By context they mean how things appear or apply in real life settings

That is probably on informalscience.org.
