Chem-Mystery: A Hands-On Chemistry Exhibition

9453810怀特劳伦斯科学馆将开发一个3,000平方英尺的建筑。英国《金融时报》巡回互动化学展览，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。化学之谜将邀请参观者进入老房子的正面，那里发生了两起非暴力的神秘事件。参观者将选择一个谜团(要么是年轻人的玩具船失踪案件，要么是年龄较大的儿童和成年人的钱财失踪案件)。在从首席侦探和嫌疑人的视频中了解到案件周围的事实后，访客将从谜案现场收集证据，然后前往法医实验室。该实验室将包括15个动手站点，参观者在那里探索基本的化学概念，同时将化学作为分析线索的工具。将开发补充的教育材料。一本20页的进一步指南将包含可以使用展品中介绍的技术在家中完成的活动。将举办教师工作坊，向教师介绍展览中的概念和方法，如何将展览活动纳入他们的课程议程。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。自1996年1月在LHS向公众开放以来，它将于1996年10月开始在美国9个科学中心巡回演出。在27个月的巡演中，它有可能接触到大约80万人。展览设计将进行审查，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. ***
