North Carolina Museum Of Life And Science, Durham NC

Investigators

Abstract

The North Carolina Museum of Life and Science will develop "Mystery Solved," a 1500-sq. foot traveling mathematics exhibition with companion take-home materials. Two copies will be made of the traveling exhibit: one for the eleven members of the North Carolina Grassroots Science Museums Collaborative reaching over 500,000 visitors, and a second for travel nationally to nine science centers reaching an estimated 750,000 additional visitors. A take-home packet will be developed for visitors to continue informal mathematics explorations at home. The activities included therein will expand and extend the exhibit themes, offering multiple levels to meet the needs of K-5 students and their families.
