TexNET
puts
rich science resources
and sophisticated
inquiry approaches
to teaching and learning
into the hands of
small science museums
that work extensively
with rural communities.
It provides high quality-science exhibits
and programs to traditionally underserved
audiences. The network leverages the
strengths of the small and large partners
to build institutional capacity and their
community presence.
TexNET pairs annually rotating exhibit
sets with professional development and
capacity-building workshops. Each small
museum partner hosts each set of ten
exhibits for one year. Exhibit topics
are: Motion, Weather, and Sound.
Explore
spinning, flying
and fluttering
by using a gyroscope
you sit on, floating
plastic fruit on
a stream of air
and blowing wind
over a rubber bridge.
