ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

Hi Dennis,

I was connected to a retired physics teacher (who previously was Chief
Engineer at an international manufacturing company). He and I are working
on programming and resources for my museum, The New England Carousel
Museum, about the physics of the carousel.

In addition to working with us, he works with Educational Innovations to do
demonstrations in informal, formal, and professional development settings
and has written a book on science demonstrations.

I'm not sure if this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
