  • 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.

  • Article Needs and Expectations of Teachers About the Science Museum of Castilla-La Mancha
    SISSA – International School for Advanced Studies Journal of Science Communication ISSN 1824 – 2049 http://jcom.sissa.it/ Article Needs and expectations of teachers about the Science Museum of Castilla-La Mancha Santiago Langreo After serving the community for seven years, the Science Museum of Castilla-La Mancha (MCCM) has decided to renew itself. In this context, a survey of the needs and expectations of the people to which the museum is dedicated plays a major role for the changes planned to prove successful. Teachers are among the main users of the museum, staying at the core of all teaching-learning processes, and play a role as mediators between science and students. This paper analyses the judgements made by teachers about various types of events and teaching resources which are normally provided by science museums and, more specifically, the Science Museum of Castilla-La Mancha. Against that backdrop, science (our content), education (our objective) and the democratic participation of teachers will show a clear route to follow if one wants to achieve quality for our institution and its future events. Highlights The first three results, with values in excess of 4.40, assign great value to experimentation, including workshops and laboratories, as well as touring exhibitions, which bring scientific knowledge to farther places, and the objective of science communication and education. Only 44.6% of respondents reported knowing or having visited other science museums. Among them, only 27% know more than two museums. There is general consensus about the opportunity for museums to increase their quality by improving all their elements, events, resources, activities, etc.

NORTHWEST AIRLINES 1926-2010 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ THE QUEEN OF THE SKIES Personal Retrospectives by Robert DuBert It's hard to believe that they are gone. Can it be possible that it was 50 years ago this September that this aircraft made its first public appearance? Are we really all so, ahem, elderly that we Photo: True Brand, courtesy Vincent Carrà remember 1968 as if it were yesterday? This plane had its origins in 1964, when Boeing began work on a proposal for the C-5A large military airlifter contract, and after Lockheed won that contest, Boeing considered a commercial passenger version as a means of salvaging the program. Urged on by Pan Am president Juan Trippe, Boeing in 1965 assigned a team headed by Chief Engineer Joe Sutter to design a large new airliner, although Boeing at the time was really more focused on its supersonic transport (SST) program. A launch customer order from Pan Am on April 13, 1966 for twenty five aircraft pushed Sutter's program into high gear, and in a truly herculian effort, Joe Sutter and his Boeing team, dubbed “The Incredibles,” brought the program from inception on paper to the public unveiling of a finished aircraft in the then unheard of time of 29 months. We're talking, of course, about the legendary and incomparable Boeing 747. THE ROLLOUT It was a bright, sunny morning on Monday, Sept.

  • Annual Report for the Year 2003–2004
    2003–2004 ANNUAL REPORT SAM Students with Sanislo Feast SAM CONNECTS ART TO LIFE CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ARTIST LI JIN’S A FEAST made a permanent impression on the fourth- and fifth-grade students at Sanislo Elementary School. Inspired by the fifty-nine- foot-long painting depicting food from a traditional Chinese dinner on a background of recipes written in Chinese calligraphy, the students set out to re-create their own version. Art teachers Ruth Winter and Carolyn Autenrieth designed the project to celebrate the diversity of cultures at their school. Students painted their favorite ethnic foods, and staff helped transcribe the recipes into the students’ original languages. On display at the Seattle Asian Art Museum last spring, the students’ work, Sanislo Feast, a fifty-foot-long art scroll portraying food and languages from seventeen different nations and cultures, reflected the heritage of Sanislo students and staff. Students, families and teachers commemorated the unveiling of their “masterpiece” with a special celebration at SAAM. cover: Li Jin, China, born 1958, A Feast, 2001, ink on Xuan paper, 39 3/8 x 708 5/8 in., Courtesy of the artist and CourtYard Gallery, Beijing right: Wolfgang Groschedel and Kunz Lochner, Equestrian armor for Philip II, ca. 1554, etched steel and gold, Patrimonio Nacional, Real Armería, Madrid SEATTLE ART MUSEUM TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Director’s Letter 17 Betty Bowen Award 2 Board of Trustees 18 Reaching Out to Youth & Families 3 Broadening, Deepening, Diversifying 19 Teaching and Learning 4–5 One Museum, Three

  • A Journey in Stories Early and First Level (Nursery–P2)
    National Museum of Flight Guidance for teachers and adult helpers A Journey in Stories Early and first level (Nursery–P2) Prior to your visit we recommend that all pupils and accompanying adults are briefed that the hangars and other buildings are widely spread apart. There is no shelter as you move between the buildings and therefore appropriate footwear, warm and waterproof clothing is essential. Upon arrival pupils should be briefed to understand the following hazards they may encounter: • The roads around the site are often busy and can be dangerous. Pavements and grass verges should be used where appropriate. When moving along the roads, pupils should walk in single file or pairs down the side of the road. • Running indoors is discouraged as the buildings contain various tripping hazards, slippery surfaces and sharp items at eye level. • We ask that visitors do not touch the aeroplanes or display objects unless signage states otherwise. This is to protect both the collection and the safety of visitors. Coach parking A designated parking area is available for coaches bringing groups to the museum. Behaviour We ask that groups are mindful that there will be other visitors enjoying the site whilst they are here. Please moderate noise levels and behaviour accordingly. Eating We are generally able to provide packed lunch facilities for groups on request and therefore ask that unless otherwise discussed that the eating of lunches and snacks is restricted to the designated areas of the museum. We also have outdoor picnic tables beside the shop, the assault course and Education Centre. Accessibility of the site At the National Museum of Flight we aim to make as much of the site as accessible as possible to visitors with additional support needs and disabilities.
