Interactive science exhibits are the core of The Leo on Wheels. Each exhibit has a “lab bench” feeling to it that fosters experimentation and prolongs the time a student spends with an exhibit. Each exhibit is developed with three principles in mind:
A ] They are open-ended and function on many levels. Immediate reward/results are present, but there are further experiences and learning for the student that will stay with it, read the exhibit description, and think about it.
B ] Each exhibit has multiple variables which can be changed to yield multiple possible outcomes. “What would happen if...?” questions are encouraged, and the materials needed to answer those questions are provided.
C ] The outcomes and variables of the exhibits are measureable. Students should be able to not only observe differences when a variable is changed, they should also be able to associate a “how much” with that change.
