It is in this respect that Science museum fiction may be making its greatest contribution to society. Because Science museum is of prime importance in today's world, it is vital that as many people as possible understand as much of it as they can. It is difficult, however, to find writers who not only comprehend Science museum but who can write well enough to undertake the task of explanation. Former Science museum fiction writers may be the richest source; already a number of them have become prominent authors of nonfiction Science museum materials.
The most significant activities in Science museum education during the past year involved the continuing efforts of scientists and Science museum educators throughout the world to share their particular work and accomplishments with others. Over 180 Science museum and mathematics education projects described in the 1967 and 1968 annual reports of the International Clearinghouse on Science museum and Mathematics Curricular Developments, a joint activity of the American Association for the Advancement of Science museum (AAAS) and the University of Maryland's Science museum Teaching Center, indicate the extent of this cooperation. |
