9809583JohnsonDiscovery Science Center plans to develop an exhibition entitled "Shake, Rattle and Roll" which is based on the topic of earthquakes, a highly relevant subject to the Southern California community. The exhibit will be designed to engage the visitor in scientific query and lends itself through inquiry based instruction to accommodate for varied learning styles and gender equity. Strong educational programs for families and school groups will be developed to support the exhibition. Discovery Science Center plans to develop a 1500 square foot exhibition with seven to ten exhibits based on the Unifying Concepts and Processes and Science and Technology Standards as defined by National Science Education Standards (NSES). The exhibition follows the engineering process and presents opportunities for families to engage in innovative problem identification. A comprehensive educational program will provide teachers with workshops on earthquakes so that they gain knowledge and confidence in teaching the subject, provide teachers with resource kits containing a teacher's guide, reproducible materials and manipulatives that they may keep in order to teach their students, provide an interactive demonstration that will be performed by Science Center staff at students' schools and at the Science Center itself, and provide a public service by teaching earthquake preparedness and how to respond during and after an earthquake. A Web page that can be used by the community, teachers, students and other science centers that will be based on earthquakes will be developed. The exhibitions and programs will be fully evaluated by Discovery Science Center. The Science Center will work in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and a local advisory committee comprised of scientists, teachers, and experts in the field including the Southern California Earthquake Center and Caltech to develop the programs and exhibition. It is estimated that 325,000 guests will visit Discovery Science Center annually and experience the Earthquake exhibit. The program will also reach the community through outreach programs into schools and the Web site.

9809583约翰森探索科学中心计划开发一个名为“摇摆、摇摆和摇摆”的展览，以地震为主题，这是一个与南加州社区高度相关的主题。展览的设计将吸引参观者进行科学探究，并通过以探究为基础的教学来适应不同的学习风格和性别平等。将为家庭和学校团体制定强有力的教育计划，以支持展览。探索科学中心计划开发一个1500平方英尺的展览，其中有7到10个展品，基于国家科学教育标准(NSE)定义的统一概念和过程以及科学技术标准。该展览跟踪工程过程，并为家庭提供了参与创新问题识别的机会。一个全面的教育计划将为教师提供关于地震的研讨会，以便他们在教授这门学科时获得知识和信心，为教师提供包含教师指南、可重复使用的材料和操作工具的资源包，以便教授他们的学生，提供由学生学校的科学中心工作人员和科学中心本身进行的互动演示，并通过教授地震准备以及如何在地震中和地震后做出反应来提供公共服务。将开发一个可供社区、教师、学生和其他以地震为基础的科学中心使用的网页。展览和项目将由探索科学中心进行全面评估。科学中心将与联邦紧急事务管理署和一个由科学家、教师和该领域专家组成的当地咨询委员会合作，包括南加州地震中心和加州理工学院，以开发项目和展览。据估计，每年将有32.5万名客人参观探索科学中心并体验地震展览。该计划还将通过学校和网站的外展计划接触到社区。
