Dear Colleague;

Can you help us with this survey?

The New York Hall of Science is developing Life Changes (working 
title), a research and professional development project that will 
have as one of its deliverables a traveling exhibition.

The goal of the project is to help children from ages 4-10 to explore 
biological concepts of evolution such as variation, inheritance, 
selection, and adaptation. Current research in cognitive psychology 
indicates that if children are introduced to these concepts at an 
early age, they are more likely to see the natural world through a 
scientific perspective. The project will offer creative professional 
development strategies to help staff at science centers and museums 
to deepen their understanding of how children understand the 
biological concepts of evolution and to work in new ways to engage 
children in exploring this topic.

If funded this exhibition will begin travel in Spring of 2008.

We are surveying interest in this project for inclusion in our NSF 
proposal.  Click on this link

If you are not the person to fill in the survey would you please 
forward it to your appropriate colleague?

I appreciate your time and thank you for helping us.
