Tanya,

I don't know if this is useful, but some years ago, when the California Academy of Science had an exhibit of the wonderful Northwest Artist Ray Troll, they had an exhibit to accompany his piece titled "Dancing to The Fossil Record". The exhibit featured phonograph records as they evolved from wax cylinders, to Bakelite 78s to vinyl 33s to 45s, etc. and there was even a tiny dance floor.  There were many other sections to that exhibit that used things people were familiar with to teach concepts of evolution, but that's the one that stuck in my mind!  The exhibit was memorable.  If you Google Artist Ray Troll you'll get more ideas.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Evolution Program Ideas

Listers-

I come to you ready to beg and borrow your evolution program ideas.  Next February our museum is going to celebrate International Darwin Day with “included in admission” activities.  I figure before I re-invent the wheel on this one I should find out what you all have done to engage the family audience in the topic.  I am open to hearing about anything: crafts, games, presenters, etc.

Thanks in advance for your help ☺
