Hello there from way down south ! I'm in the process of gathering ideas for interactive science displays and was hoping the some people might be able to add their thoughts. Most Science and Technology museums that I know of are heavily based on physics type displays since these are fairly exciting, robust and easy to construct. However I am aiming for a broader range of exhibits and am looking for ideas for good Biology, Chemistry and Geology displays. The requirements are that they must be "hands on" and interactive, illustrate a basic scientific principle and be understood by children and adults alike. Also any experiments or reactions need to be safe, easily reproducible and robust enough to survive months of use. Cost is not really a problem since the budget is over $200,000 for 30-35 exhibits. Any advice, ideas or references would be most helpful - please e-mail and if there is enough interest I will post a summary. Thanks in advance, Mark Billinghurst
