Chem-Mystery: A Hands-On Chemistry Exhibition

9453810怀特劳伦斯科学馆将开发3000平方英尺的面积。ft旅游互动化学展览中，参观者将进行各种基本的化学测试在动机类型的解决一个谜。Chem-Mystery将邀请游客进入一个老房子的正面，在那里发生了两个非暴力的神秘事件。游客们将选择一个谜题（针对青少年的玩具船失踪案或针对年龄较大的儿童和成人的钱失踪案）来解决。参观者通过总侦探和嫌疑人的录像了解案件的事实后，将在案件现场收集证据，然后前往法医实验室。实验室将设有15个动手工作站，参观者可以在此探索基本的化学概念，同时利用化学作为分析线索的工具。将编制补充教材。一份20页的“进一步指导”将包含可以使用展览中介绍的技术在家中完成的活动。将举办教师工作坊，向教师介绍展览的概念，以及如何将展览活动纳入其课程议程的方法。这些材料加上其他一般设置信息将包含在展览安装手册中。1996年1月在LHS向公众开放后，它将于1996年10月开始在美国9个科学中心进行巡回演出。在为期27个月的巡演中，它有可能吸引大约80万人。展览设计将被审查为普遍的可访问性。它将由劳伦斯科学馆的工作人员制作，并由ASTC分发。＊＊＊

9453810 White The Lawrence Hall of Science will develop a 3000 sq. ft. traveling interactive chemistry exhibit in which visitors will conduct a variety of basic chemical tests within the motivational genre of solving a mystery. Chem-Mystery will invite visitors into an Old House facade where two non-violent mysteries have occurred. Visitors will chose a mystery (either the case of the missing toy boat for youngsters or the case of the missing money for older children and adults) to solve. After learning the facts surrounding the case from videos of the chief detective and the suspects, visitors will collect evidence from the scene of the mystery and then proceed to the Forensics Laboratory. The Lab will contain 15 hands-on stations where visitors explore fundamental chemistry concepts while using chemistry as a tool to analyze clues. Complementary educational materials will be developed. A 20 page Going Further Guide will contain activities that can be done at home using techniques introduced in the exhibit. Teacher workshops will be held to introduce teachers to concepts in the exhibit and methods on how to incorporate the exhibit activities in their curricular agenda. These materials plus other general set-up information will be included in an Exhibit Installation Handbook. After opening to the public at the LHS in January 1996, it will begin its tour in October, 1996 to nine US science centers. It has the potential of reaching about 800,000 people during the twenty-seven month tour. The exhibit design will be reviewed for universal accessibility. It will be produced by the staff of the Lawrence Hall of Science and circulated by ASTC. ***
