Hi Daryl,

Great ideas coming in so far...how about adding a looped slide-show from
apod.nasa?
Watching Michael's suggested viewing of "rain on the sun"
http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap130226.html
the other day once again emphasized relative size and our Earth's cyclical
climate relativity. I think the kids need to know that we can't just send a
big firetruck up there to put out Mr. Sun. I ended up forwarding the link
to a few friends who still need a small lesson in self-importance. ;~))

Hi,

I could really use some assistance, please.

I am involved in a SPACE EXPO and we're in the process of determining what
the most fun interactive exhibits might be for children who are 8-14.

With the foregoing in mind, what are some of the best interactive exhibits
you've seen that pertain to space or space travel? Any ideas or great
experiences that you or your kids had would be much appreciated. Thanks so
much!


A couple of simple examples:

?Child ascends a scale to see how much she weighs on Earth.....she moves
over to the next scale which is calibrated to reveal how much she would
weigh on the Moon....she then moves over to the next scale to see how much
she would weigh on Jupiter.

?Child Walks on the Moon. [There is a lunar fragment encased in a Lucite
brick that a child can walk on, and so they are in effect "Walking on the
Moon."



Thanks again for sharing your faves?and if it's currently exhibited, I would
appreciate your mentioning the name of the institution. Thanks!


Best / Darryl
