When I was at the Gulf Coast Exploreum (Mobile, AL), we hosted the
traveling exhibition "China: 7,000 Years of Innovation," which also made
stops in Vancouver and (I believe) Cleveland. It was also recently at
the Singapore Science Center. (For pictures, visit:

If you contact someone at the Exploreum, they might still have a copy or
two of the staff/volunteer guide, teachers' guide, and family guide that
we developed and/or adapted from the materials used in Vancouver.

We at Boston Children's Museum are getting ready for a new exhibit about
China. Our plan is to develop lots of related program in all our content
areas, including science. I know China is responsible for a whole lot of
inventions and engineering ideas including papermaking, printing,
suspeension bridges, as well as a lot of advances in medicine,
cartography and navigation.
I"m looking for help in turning some of these ideas into managable floor
activities. For example, how does one do Chinese papermaking? (as
opposed to making paper from other paper, which a lot of us know how to
do) If you have knowledge of some great China originated science or
technology, I'd love to hear about it and/or how you would do a hands-on
activitiy with it.
thanks!

discoveries, is not "Eureka!" (I found it!) but "That's funny..."
