Representing the very best in state-of-the-art science center technology. Minds On Hall allows your students to take virtual journeys and see themselves as they have never before

Each of your students will experience each exhibit in a different way! For example:

• Virtual World Exhibits
  Your students will learn about kinetic energy, gravity and g-force as they design a Virtual Roller Coaster. They’ll add hills, corkscrews, or loops at a computer and then “ride” their coasters as they sit in a cart and experience them on a large screen.
  
  
• Micro World Exhibits
  Using a Video Light Microscope, your students will observe minute details in objects such as penny, pencil or their own skin.
  
  
• Chem World Exhibits
  Students become human batteries at Are YOU Electric? A voltmeter registers the strength of an electric current generated by the moisture in their own hands.

Teachers’ Guide to Permanent Exhibits
Download a copy of the new Teachers’ Guide to Permanent Exhibits. Learn the science behind the exhibits in Minds On Hall and Hands On Hall and how your students should interact with each exhibit.

Exploration Journal
An Exploration Journal is like a scavenger hunt. It helps students focus on the science content at exhibits. The Minds On Hall Exploration Journal is designed for grades 3-6 but can be adapted for other grades.

The Education Staff recommends placing Exploration Journals in student folders and bringing pencils.

Don’t forget to give chaperones a copy – engaged chaperones are the key to a successful field trip.
