Chem-Mystery: A Hands-On Chemistry Exhibition

9453810白色 劳伦斯科学馆将开发一个3000平方米。英尺 流动互动化学展览，参观者将进行各种基本的化学测试，在解决一个谜的动机类型。 化学之谜将邀请游客进入一个老房子的门面，在那里发生了两个非暴力的奥秘。 游客将选择一个谜（无论是失踪的玩具船的情况下，为青少年或失踪的钱的情况下，为年龄较大的儿童和成人）来解决。 在从首席侦探和嫌疑人的视频中了解案件的事实后，游客将从神秘的现场收集证据，然后前往法医实验室。 该实验室将包含15个动手站，游客探索基本的化学概念，同时使用化学作为分析线索的工具。 将编制补充教材。 一个20页的进一步指南将包含可以在家里使用展览中介绍的技术完成的活动。 教师工作坊将举行，向教师介绍展览的概念和如何将展览活动纳入其课程议程的方法。 这些材料以及其他一般设置信息将包含在《展品安装手册》中。 1996年1月在洛杉矶科学中心向公众开放后，它将于1996年10月开始在美国9个科学中心巡回演出。 在27个月的巡回演出中，它有可能接触到大约80万人。 将审查展览设计是否具有普遍可及性。 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. ***
