Bringing the Universe Down to Earth: De-Mystifying the Forces that Shape the Solar System

位于加利福尼亚州奥克兰的查伯特天文台和科学中心（COSC）将开发并展示《将宇宙带到地球：揭开塑造太阳系的过程》。本次展览将展出国内知名艺术家内德·卡恩的13件互动作品。展览将由26个展品组成：每个主题两个，一个是夏博，一个是旅行部分。展会将被纳入COSC的结构和网络。它将邀请游客通过关注熟悉的地球现象，如火山、旋风、风暴、雪崩，来利用他们对这个世界的一般知识，并在更广泛的背景下考虑它们。此外，该项目将利用Chabot与该地区学校和社区团体的良好在线联系，为个性化查询创造新的机会。这项工作的直接产物将是一系列旨在帮助教师充分利用展览的课程大纲。这一努力可以用来促进非正式和正式科学教育项目之间的强有力合作。这次展览的一个重要特点是，它将在科学技术中心协会（ASTC）的主持下，在全国九个地点巡回展出。预计将有超过一百万人在九个地点参观这次巡回展览。教育和营销材料，以及为COSC展览准备的工作坊材料将伴随巡回展览。

9725551 Reynolds The Chabot Observatory and Science Center (COSC) in Oakland California will develop and present Bringing the Universe Down to Earth: Demystifying the Process that shapes the Solar System. This exhibition will utilize thirteen interactive works by Ned Kahn, a nationally recognized artist. The exhibition will consist of twenty-six exhibits: two per theme, one for Chabot, and one for the traveling component. The exhibition will be incorporated into the structure and network of COSC. It will invite visitors to draw on their general knowledge of this world by focusing on familiar earthly phenomena, such as volcanoes, whirlwinds, wind storms, avalanches, and to consider them in a broader context. Also, the project will take advantage of Chabot's well developed, online connection with schools and community groups in the area to create new opportunities for individualized inquiry. A direct product of this work will be a series of curricular outlines designed to help teachers make full use of the exhibition. This effort can be used to foster a strong collaboration between the informal and formal science education programs. An important feature of this exhibition is that it will travel to nine sites around the country under the auspices of the Association of Science and Technology Centers (ASTC). It is projected that over one million people at the nine sites will see this traveling exhibition. Educational and marketing materials, as well as workshops materials prepared for the COSC exhibition will accompany the traveling exhibit.
