  • The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: an International Perspective
    The Image of Chemistry Presented by the Science Museum, London in the Twentieth Century: An International Perspective Peter Morris Abstract: How has chemistry been presented at the Science Museum, London, during the 20 th century? After an overview of the history of the Science Muse- um and its chemistry galleries, four galleries are considered in depth (1906, 1926, 1977, and 1999). The importance of the curators’ external constituency of chemists and chemical educators is emphasized. The image of chemistry at the Science Museum has concentrated on the general utility of chemistry and chemistry as a skilful craft. The presentation has been low-key rather than boosterist. A comparison is made with the chemistry galleries at the Deutsches Museum. Chemistry in the Deutsches Museum has put more emphasis on hands-on exhibits and the chemical industry. Science and technology museums have promoted chemistry in a quiet but successful way for many years, but their influence may have waned along with chemistry kits. Keywords : presentation of chemistry in museums, chemistry collections, chemistry galleries, Science Museum, Deutsches Museum . 1. Introduction Before we examine the image of chemistry that has been presented by the Science Museum during the 20th century, it is worth asking if science and technology museums have any influence on the public’s perception of chem- istry. While the impact of museums is inevitably less than, say, the mass me- dia, they do attract large audiences: the Science Museum had 1.2 million visi- tors in the 1930s, a peak of 4.2 million visitors in 1980 and 2.6 million visitors in 2004.

  • Designs for Learning: Studying Science Museum Exhibits That Do More Than Entertain
    Designs for Learning: Studying Science Museum Exhibits That Do More Than Entertain SUE ALLEN Exploratorium, San Francisco, CA 94123, USA Received 2 October 2003; revised 6 April 2004; accepted 7 April 2004 DOI 10.1002/sce.20016 Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). ABSTRACT: Science museum staff face a constructivist dilemma as they design their public spaces: the exhibits should facilitate science learning, yet they also need to support a diverse visiting public in making their own personal choices about where to attend, what to do, and how to interpret their interactions. To be effective as teaching tools, exhibits need to be highly intrinsically motivating at every step of an interaction in order to sustain involvement by an audience who views their visit primarily as a leisure activity. Given these challenges, it is vital to support the design process with a strong program of research and evaluation. I give a personal perspective on one institution’s research and evaluation work over the last decade, focusing on four areas: immediate apprehendability, physical interactivity, conceptual coherence, and diversity of learners. C 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Sci Ed 88(Suppl. 1):S17–S33, 2004 INTRODUCTION: A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE ON A LEARNING DILEMMA In this article I present a personal perspective on a subset of museum learning environ- ments, specifically the exhibition space of hands-on science museums. This choice is based on my own experience of studying and working in such environments over the last decade at the Exploratorium, a well-known museum of “science, art, and human perception” in San Francisco.

  • Winnick Family Foundation Completes $100,000 Grant to California Science Center’S Ecosystems Gallery
    Winnick Family Foundation Completes $100,000 Grant to California Science Center’s Ecosystems Gallery The Foundation hopes that the interactive Ecosystems gallery will become an inspiration and model for eco-conscious urban development Los Angeles, CA - November 4, 2010 – The Winnick Family Foundation has completed a $100,000 grant to support the creation of the Ecosystems permanent exhibit gallery at the California Science Center at Exposition Park in Los Angeles. Within the new Ecosystems gallery, guests observe and explore an 188,000-gallon kelp tank teeming with marine life, a desert flash flood, and a special area dedicated to the rich urban ecology of Los Angeles. Adam Winnick, a member of the California Science Center Foundation Board of Trustees, said: “The Ecosystems gallery, which opened in March of this year, is a world-class facility for teaching children and the general public the interconnectedness of all air, water, land and life resources on this planet. We are pleased to be a part of the philanthropic community that supports this unique facility.” Stated Jeffrey Rudolph, President and Chief Executive of the California Science Center Foundation: “The early commitment of the Winnick family to help realize this new interactive gallery was key to our success in convincing others to support the Science Center’s exceptional learning experience. We have become one of the world’s leading science education venues with an astonishing 1.4 million visitors last year alone. With The Winnick Family Foundation support, we can confidently continue in our mission of stimulating curiosity and inspiring science learning among all who visit us.” Added Gary Winnick, Chairman and CEO of Pacific Capital Group: “Our hope is that the interactive Ecosystems gallery will become an inspiration and model for eco-conscious urban development.” About the Winnick Family Foundation The Winnick Family Foundation encourages project-specific programs but also selectively supports capital campaigns and unrestricted gifts to grantee organizations.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Contacts: Jennifer Zacharias, JZPR (805) 886-9078 or [email protected] SANTA BARBARA ZOO’S GIRAFFE & AMUR LEOPARD PREPARE TO DEPART AS PART OF CRITICAL SPECIES SURVIVAL PLAN Zoo will also welcome new Amur leopard and baby giraffes this spring (March 6, 2020) Santa Barbara, CA - T he Santa Barbara Zoo will soon bid farewell to Amirah, their almost two-year-old female Masai giraffe, and Wyatt, their seven-year-old male Amur leopard, as part of their ongoing work to support two of the A ssociation of Zoos and Aquariums ’s (AZA) Species Survival Plans. The Species Survival Plan (SSP) was developed in 1981 by the AZA to help ensure the survival of selected species in zoos and aquariums, many of which are threatened or endangered in the wild. Amirah, born at the Santa Barbara Zoo on March 14, 2018 to Audrey and Michael, will depart on March 10, 2020 (just shy of her second birthday) for the Sacramento Zoo . Giraffes typically become independent of their mothers around two years old and become mature enough to breed at three or four years old. "Over the last few months as we’ve prepared for her departure, we’ve really noticed her personality come alive, and she has become more independent and brave, trying new things without her mom nearby,” shared Cassie Moews, Senior Keeper. While she is still too young to breed right now, Amirah will have a breeding recommendation in the future. Amirah’s father Michael is the most genetically valuable Masai giraffe in the AZA North America population.
