9814646CARLSONThe Exploratorium will develop an exhibition entitled " Traits of Life: Exploratory Exhibits in the Life Sciences". There will be two versions. The first will be a 4,500 sq.-ft. exhibit that will include about 35 life science interactive modules and will be installed at the Exploratorium. Following an evaluation period, about 20 of the exhibits will be used for a 3,000 sq.-ft. traveling version of the exhibition. The Association of Science and Technology Centers will manage the circulation of the exhibition. Challenging visitors to consider the question "What is Life?" this exhibition will be designed to offer learners new ways to explore characteristics shared by all living things. Three traits have been selected to illustrate the characteristics common to all living things: a shared molecular and cellular structure, self-reproduction, and adaptation to surroundings. These traits will be reflected in three sections of the exhibit: "A Common Design", "Passing It On" and "Staying Alive". Complementary elements include artists-in-residence, scientists-in-residence, teacher institutes, student materials, web-based activities, public programs and publications. Project staff will attempt to develop an understanding of techniques that are most successful in stimulating learning about life science in informal settings.

9814646 CARLSON探索博物馆将举办一场名为“生命的特征：生命科学中的探索展览”的展览。将有两个版本。第一个将是4500平方英尺。展览将包括大约35个生命科学互动模块，将安装在探索博物馆。经过评估期后，大约20个展品将用于3000平方英尺的面积。巡回展的版本。科学技术中心协会将管理展览的流通。让参观者思考“生活是什么？”这个问题。这次展览将为学习者提供新的方式来探索所有生物共有的特征。选择了三个特征来说明所有生物的共同特征：共享的分子和细胞结构，自我繁殖，以及对环境的适应。这些特点将在展览的三个部分体现出来：“共同的设计”、“传承”和“活着”。补充要素包括常驻艺术家、常驻科学家、师范学院、学生材料、基于网络的活动、公共方案和出版物。项目工作人员将尝试发展对在非正式环境中最成功地促进对生命科学的学习的技术的理解。
