also outlines steps to make ths most out of a scientist's visit.
- Sharing Science with Children: A Guide for Parents

science
with their children. It identifies science experiences, skills and concepts
families can explore in their home and community.
Choose between three ordering options:
- Obtain Guides from the Museum:
- Up to five copies of each guide are free upon request. Copies may be
purchased
in multiples of 25 only. The cost is $25 for each multiple of 25 up to 200
copies. Orders greater than 200 will receive a 20% discount.
- Purchase Black and White Masters:
- You can order a set of durable Black and White Masters of each guide, from
which an unlimited number of photocopies can be made. The cost for each set
of Black and White Masters is $100.00.
- Purchase Mechanicals:
- The Museum can provide mechanicals of the guides, from which an unlimited
number of copies can be printed. The fee for one set of mechanicals is
$500.00 and $25.00/hour for customizing, if desired. Allow approximately
four to six weeks for production. Once mechanicals are purchased, a local
printer will be able to produce copies for you. Printing costs vary, so
we recommend getting several estimates.
Please note:
- Noncommercial duplication of the guides is encouraged.
- Permission may be requested to reprint excerpts. Credit must be given in all
cases.
- Thanks to the generosity of professional scientific societies, a limited
number of guides can be furnished to nonprofit institutions for reduced
fees. If you are requesting reduced fees, please send a written request.
