In collaboration with NOAA Pacific Services Center (PSC), these museums are producing and distributing four modules on earth system science topics for spherical display systems. These four modules will focus on climate change, the restless earth, weather and climate, and real-time planet earth. Hawaii State Department of Education will produce pre-visit and post-visit lessons for each of four school programs.","Hawaii State Department of Education, Imiloa Astronomy Center of Hawaii, University of Hawaii at Manoa" "Science On a Sphere Revitalization Act for ASTC 2010 and Beyond","Bishop Museum","2009: ELG for Science On a Sphere Network Capacity Building",2009,NA09SEC4690031,"$49,990","Leon Geschwind",Hawaii,Honolulu,Honolulu,HI01,"21.33281, -157.87055","2009-08-01T00:00:00 - 2010-07-31T00:00:00","The Bishop Museum is installing new Science On a Sphere (SOS) projectors and computers in advance of the 2010 Association of Science Technology Centers (ASTC) conference in Honolulu, HI. The state of the art hardware will allow the Bishop Museum and Lawrence Hall of Science to showcase NOAA-funded programming for the museum community during the conference. The project also seeks to build network capacity by creating and maintaining a database on SOS sites' hardware within the existing NOAA yahoo usergroup forum and through conference participation. Project evaluation efforts will focus on the aesthetics of SOS imagery pre and post installation and whether or not it significantly impacts the visitor experience.",
