Spiral Zoom Nasturtium Leaf 2009 Formative Evaluation

Formative evaluation for the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network.

DESCRIPTION

This formative evaluation was conducted to see how the addition of an interactive media piece enhanced visitors' understanding of Nasturtium, a life sciences exhibit that demonstrates the water repelling properties of nasturtium leaves. The media piece allows the visitor to view leaf structures at progressively higher magnifications to better illustrate their scale and function.
