General Description:
Science Museum of Minnesota visitors were invited to participate in the NanoDays activity, Exploring Forces – Gravity on Thursday, August 7 and Saturday, August 9. A total of 15 visitors filled out surveys about the activity after participating. This formative evaluation assesses the activity’s ability to teach that gravity is not a significant force on the nanoscale.
Major Findings:
The formative evaluation of the Exploring Forces – Gravity activity shows that though the majority of visitors enjoyed the activity and reported having an easy time understanding it, they did not grasp the activity’s big idea or learning goal. Furthermore, about half of the visitors were not able to express the activity’s relation to nano.
