亚利桑那州立博物馆（ASM）将使用这笔规划补助金来进一步规划他们新的史前画廊的教育内容。这个项目的题目是“史前画廊：科学教育组件的规划”。规划活动的主题是他们对设施改造和解释的总体规划的一部分。两个约。正在开发1万平方英尺的展厅；第一个是最近开放的“生命之路：西南部的美国印第安人”。第二个，也是本次规划项目的主题，是祖先的旅程：西南的古代民族。策划活动将包括：1)由ASM策划委员会前往7家博物馆，讨论展览理念、解说策略和展览技术；2)一个解释性设计研讨会，将汇集多学科团队的科学家，科学教育家，展览设计师，和其他人分享关于这个新大厅的设计，内容和教育活动的想法；3)额外的前端评估，以测试主题、策略和学习活动对不同潜在受众群体的有效性；4)与地区教师进行计划会议，以检查展览与课程需求之间的关系。

9630517 Vivian The Arizona State Museum (ASM) will use this planning grant to further their planning for the educational content of their new prehistoric gallery. This project is titled "Prehistoric Gallery: Planning for Science Education Components". The subject of the planning activity is part of their master plan for facility renovation and interpretation. Two approx. 10,000 square foot exhibit halls are being developed; the first is the recently opened Paths of Life: American Indians of the Southwest. The second, and the subject of this planning project, is Journeys of the Ancestors: Ancient Peoples of the Southwest. The planning activities will consist of 1) travel by the ASM planning committee to seven museums to discuss exhibit philosophy, interpretive strategies, and exhibit techniques; 2) an interpretive design seminar that will bring together a multidisciplinary team of scientists, science educators, exhibit designers, and others to share ideas on the design, content, and educational activities for this new hall; 3) additional a front-end evaluation to test effectiveness of the themes, strategies, and learning activities with different segments of their potential audience; 4) a planning session with area teachers to examine the relationship between the exhibit and the curricular needs.
