Chem-Mystery: A Hands-On Chemistry Exhibition

9453810 White 劳伦斯科学馆将开发一个 3000 平方英尺的移动互动化学展览，参观者将在解开谜团的激励类型中进行各种基本化学测试。 化学之谜将邀请游客进入老房子的正面，那里发生了两个非暴力的神秘事件。 游客将选择一个谜团（对于青少年来说是玩具船失踪的案件，或者对于年龄较大的儿童和成人来说是失踪钱的案件）来解决。 从首席侦探和嫌疑人的视频中了解案件真相后，游客将前往神秘现场收集证据，然后前往法医实验室。 该实验室将包含 15 个实践站，参观者可以在其中探索基本化学概念，同时使用化学作为分析线索的工具。 将开发补充教育材料。 20 页的进一步指南将包含可以使用展览中介绍的技术在家完成的活动。 将举办教师研讨会，向教师介绍展览中的概念以及如何将展览活动纳入其课程议程的方法。 这些材料以及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 月开始在美国九个科学中心巡演。 在为期 27 个月的巡演中，它有可能吸引约 80 万人。 展览设计将经过审查以确保普遍可访问性。 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. ***
