Science Links In Museum Education
Science Links in Museum Education (SLIME) South East is a network of over 75 museums in the South East who have an interest or expertise in supporting Science. To find out more about SLIME go to the Science page of this website.
SLIME has produced a publication "Inspiring Science - museums can do it!" which highlights the many ways in which museums can support science. The publication lists the museums in the South East region which either already support science or would be interested in exploring with their local schools how it might be done. Download a PDF from this website Inspiring Science - museums can do it! (PDF 7Mb) or for a paper copy email sharon.bristow@hants.gov.uk
