Traveling Interactive Microbiology Exhibition

纽约科学馆要求在四年内提供829312美元，用于开发和发行1991年4月出版的《隐藏的王国——约克科学馆的世界》旅行版。旅行版将包括：一个介绍小组；16个易观察显微镜，展示活微生物；大小、比例、放大单位；两个互动式电脑程式，分别名为“了解爱滋病”和“你的身体如何对抗疾病”；用于微观生命演示的视频显微镜；病毒和细菌单位；不同微生物的彩色透明马赛克；Optech （BYOB）交互式视频显微镜一台；说明微生物运动的三种西洋镜；以及一个迷你实验室，里面有维护展览和向学生和老师展示MICROLAB工作坊所需的所有设备和材料。这个1500平方英尺的展览将在三年内在九个地点展出。纽约科学馆将提供建立和维护展览的现场培训，每周运送一次微生物和辅助材料，一份展览目录，一段11分钟的活微生物视频，为学校提供参观前和参观后的活动资料，以及为学生和教师讲习班提供的计划。这次巡回展览的一个新颖之处在于，主办博物馆将有机会在分摊费用的基础上保留微型实验室及其设备和四个简易显微镜，这些显微镜可以成为微生物学项目的核心。生物学、微生物学;非正式科学教育；小学，初中和高中

The traveling version will consist of: an introductory panel; 16 Easy-View microscopes exhibiting living microbes; units dealing with size, scale and magnification; two interactive computer programs entitled "Understanding AIDS" and "How Your Body Fights Disease"; a video microscope for the Microscopic Life demonstration; units on virusesand bacteria; a mosaic of color transparencies of different microorganisms; one Optech (BYOB) interactive video microscope; three zoetropes illustrating mcrobial movement; and a mini-laboratory room containing all the equipment and materials necessary for maintaining the exhibit and presenting the MICROLAB workshops to students and teachers. The 1,500 square foot exhibit will travel to nine sites over three years. The new York Hall of Science will provide on-site training in estasblishing and maintaining the exhibit, a weekly shipment of microrganisms and supporting materials, an exhibit catalog, an 11-minute video featuring living microbes, pre- and post- visit materisla for schools with suggested activities , and programs for student and teacher workshops. A novel feature of this traveling exhibition will be the opportunity for the host museum to retain, on a cost-share basis, the mini- laboratory with its equipment and four Easy-View microscopes which can become the core of a microbiology program.
