This is just a start . . .
I usually wait until I'm covering sound to go to the Exploratorium. The
exhibits on resonance, frequency, waves, are most helpful. I've always
wanted to bring a class into the "resonance chamber" (one of the columns of
the dome outside). I've never been able to set this up.
A guided tour of the sound exhibits and an order with a map would be most
helpful as well as how to set up a special tour of the "sound chamber".

Hello All,
Eric here.
We're starting to work on a new "Pathways" packet for visiting
students and teachers.
I'm working with Gerry Jamin of the Explainer program to get new and
useful field trip materials together.
What is a "Pathway" you say?
Years ago when you made a field trip reservation to the museum, the
reservationist would ask if you wanted a "Pathway." You were given a
choice of "Pathway" themes: Sound, Electricity and Magnetism, Light
and Color, VisionS..
Before coming to the museum with your class, you would receive this
"Pathway" in the mail.
You could copy it and pass it out to your students. It contained
such things as locations of exhibits in your chosen theme, some
content and some questions about the exhibits. Teachers usually
collected these student packets at the end of their field trip.
New and Improved "Pathways"?
If you still don't know what a "Pathways" is, that's OKS.actually
even better. Clear you mind....start anew.
We want to develop a new batch of "Pathways" that are useful for
future field trippers.
I want to get a dialog going here on pinhole about what would be most
useful for teachers.
Let us hear what you think!
