Students in the elementary grades often make a classroom model of the solar system using peas and ping-pong balls, or circles on a poster. This single-page Website (from San Francisco's Exploratorium Museum of Science) uses the interactivity of the Web to do it differently: students enter a diameter for a model Sun, say 40 millimeters, and the Web page calculates how big to make the planet models and how far away from the model Sun to place them.
Behind all good science fiction is real science fact. By presenting a realistic picture of the future, science fiction inspires those who are creating the real future. A new online exhibition, developed by The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, CA, explores this premise through streaming video, discussion forums, interactive presentations and an online art gallery. The online exhibition, 2001: Destination Space, is an extension of the physical installation of 2001: Destination Space at The Tech Museum's San Jose facility.
