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" "Global Connections: Science on a Sphere","Boonshoft Museum of Discovery","2008: ELG for Spherical Display Systems for Earth Systems Science-Installations & Content",2008,NA08SEC4690029,"$200,000","Susan Pion",Ohio,Dayton,Montgomery,OH10,"39.78855, -84.2033","2008-08-01T00:00:00 - 2010-07-31T00:00:00","The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery/Discovery Zoo in Dayton, OH has developed and implemented a new, permanent exhibition featuring NOAA's Science on a Sphere. The exhibition builds environmental literacy among public visitors, K-12 students, and the myriad of groups that the Museum reaches. A significant portion of the audience is from underrepresented groups. A special display within the exhibition focuses on the Mississippi Watershed and how it is related to the health of the oceans. The exhibition also includes three interactive stations where visitors can engage in hands-on activities related to NOAA datasets.",
