[meteorite-list] SPACE EXPO - OFF TOPIC (TANGENTIALLY)

[Darryl Pitt]

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
