| Description: |
Team Up! Explore
Science & Sports examines
the science of sports through 14 interactive components. Visitors
can test their own skills in sports such as basketball, tennis,
soccer and football while learning about math and physics.
In the February
2006 issue of Family Fun magazine, Team Up!
was rated the best hands-on traveling exhibit for families.
In this exhibition,
visitors are invited to do such things as:
- Discover their pitching speed in a radar-equipped
booth.
- Experiment with balance using pommel-horse
and balance beam interactives.
- Make a perfect bounce pass to a "teammate"
located on the other side of a barrier.
- Shoot a marble-sized basketball through
a tiny hoop while learning about trajectory angles.
Team Up! Explore Science & Sports
was developed by Discovery Center Museum and the Family Museum
of Arts and Science as part of the TEAMS (Traveling Exhibits
at Museums of Science) Collaborative, with major funding from
the National Science Foundation. As much as possible, Team
Up! components have been made accessible to all visitors.

| Description: |
Lied Discovery Children’s Museum has
developed a traveling exhibit that provides 8 to 12-year-old
children with a balanced introduction to the plight of refugees,
and people of all ages an inspiring learning experience and
awareness about the importance of human rights.
Some additional learning
goals based around the exhibit include:
- Increase understanding
among school-aged children, teachers, and youth leaders
about human rights and the lives of refugee children and
their families.
- Support parents,
caregivers, and teachers in their crucial role of facilitating
children’s learning through programs, resource materials,
and modeling.
- Encourage children
of diverse backgrounds and abilities to play together while
learning about the issues of conflict.
- Nurture and promote
interaction among children and adults about these complex
issues.
- Support community
programming efforts of local exhibit venues.
This creative and
educational exhibition was developed in partnership with Lied
Discovery Children’s Museum and international aid organizations
including UNHCR, the UN refugee agency. Philanthropist Pam
Omidyar helped conceive the exhibit and personally provided
core funding. “We hope children and other visitors will
take away from the exhibition a sense of empathy and insight
into the lives of refugee children around the world,”
said Linda Quinn, Executive Director of Las Vegas’ Lied
Discovery Children’s Museum. “This exhibition will
allow them to walk in the shoes of refugee children and reflect
on issues such as losing a home and human rights in a creative,
educational and interactive way.”

| Description: |
The Zula Patrol, those colorful and energetic Galactic
fact gatherers have been planet hopping across the Solar System
on their never ending quest for knowledge. They've finally
landed on Earth to study the weather on our home planet. We
can experiment right along with them and learn what weather
is, how it works, what affects it, and how it affects us.
This compact exhibition is anchored by five freestanding
installations that combine to create the colorful cartoon
world of Zula. Captain Bula, Professor Multo, Space Pilot
Zeeter, flying wonders Wizzy and Wigg, and Space Pet Gorga
invite you to apply the scientific method. Learn all about
clouds, precipitation, wind, temperature, and other weather
phenomenon.
The exhibit addresses the developmental needs of children
by increasing scientific knowledge and habits of mind, addressing
National Science Education Standards meeting National Association
for the Education of Young Children Curriculum Guidelines,
providing different types of play opportunities, and providing
opportunities for children to exercise Multiple Intelligences.
The Zula Patrol is a multifaceted brand of learning
tools including an animated television series, outreach program,
classroom activities, permanent and traveling museum exhibitions,
and digital dome theater show aimed to provide early science
and reading literacy for children in preschool through 2nd
grade.
