9627084 Weiss The New York Hall of Science will develop an interactive exhibit for the general public "The Chemistry of Life". There will be two editions of the exhibit: one 2,500 sq. ft. version will be installed permanently in the New York Hall of Science and another 1500 sq. ft. version will travel nationally. Focusing on the common chemical processes behind all life on earth, the exhibit will help visitors learn four basic chemistry concepts: 1) a shared chemistry underlies all forms of life, 2) the chemistry of energy transformation takes place in all living things, 3) chemical energy is converted to mechanical energy to animate life, and 4) the chemistry of reproduction provides for the continuity of life. The chemistry of the human body will be used whenever possible as an entry point to the concepts. Exhibits will include a hands-on staffed visitor chemistry lab, interactive activities, stimulations, models, demonstrations, and video clips. Complementary materials and workshops will be developed for families, school groups, and teachers. These materials are being developed with the curricular needs of the New York State Systemic Initiative and New York City Urban Systemic Initiative in mind. Teacher and student materials will be keyed to the curriculum guidelines. The long-term exhibit is scheduled to open late in 1998 and the traveling version will be available in spring 1999.

小行星9627084韦斯 纽约科学馆将为公众开发一个互动展览“生命的化学”。 将有两个版本的展览：一个2,500平方米。英尺版本将永久安装在纽约科学馆和另一个1500平方米。英尺该版本将在全国范围内传播。 该展览聚焦于地球上所有生命背后的共同化学过程，将帮助参观者了解四个基本化学概念：1）所有生命形式的基础是共享的化学，2）所有生物都发生能量转化的化学，3）化学能转化为机械能以使生命活跃，以及4）繁殖的化学提供了生命的连续性。 人体化学将尽可能作为概念的切入点。 展品将包括一个动手工作人员参观化学实验室，互动活动，刺激，模型，演示和视频剪辑。 将为家庭、学校团体和教师编写补充材料和举办讲习班。 编写这些材料时考虑到了纽约州系统性举措和纽约市系统性举措的课程需要。 教师和学生的材料将与课程指导方针保持一致。 长期展览定于1998年晚些时候开放，巡回展览将于1999年春季推出。
