Gallery: Transforming Resources
Module A. Needs and Wants
Module Big Idea: For me to have and use products, food, transportation, and daily comforts and
conveniences, we transform natural resources.
Module Core messages:
1) There are things in our lives we need, and things that we want, and to obtain these, we
transform multiple natural resources.
A. Needs and Wants Visitor experience:
L0 Title: Transforming Resources
L0 Text: There are things in our lives we need, and things that we want, and to obtain these, we
transform multiple natural resources.
A1 Needs and wants sorting/tinder. Visitors will have the
opportunity to sort or tag common, everyday objects into items they need, and items they want.
Each item will pop onto the screen one at a time, and visitors will need to swipe right or swipe
left to either classify this as a need or a want. The categories of objects will be mixed up allowing
visitors to bounce between different items. At any point, visitors can choose ‘Stats’ and be able
to see stats about how other visitors sorted each object (e.g. see 70% need/30% want). Email
output, needs/wants tinder
Accessibility considerations.
Physical Accessibility - This is a touch screen experience, alternative input method? Assure
appropriate reach range and clear knee space. Assure 70% contrast.
Sensory Accessibility - Provide port for alternative input/output device.
Intellectual Accessibility - Choose easily understandable icons and minimal, simple text. Text
shall be written for language skill of about Grade 6 level reading comprehension. Use short
sentences and avoid words that represent complex concepts.
Accessibility exemptions:
Programming and Outreach opportunities.
This experience could exist as an online portal, with nation-wide and in museum results being
combined.

A2-1 Exploded Smart Car. Through an exploded Smart Car visitors see the
product deconstructed and information about the materials within these products that come from natural resources. 3D symbols based on the periodic table of elements remind visitors that there is a direct link between elements and these products. Visitors will also learn how much of the product is recycled.
Accessibility considerations. Physical Accessibility – Assure appropriate viewing heights and close approach. Assure reader rails provide clear knee space. Assure 70% contrast. Sensory Accessibility – This is a very visual experience. Provide tactile experience or alternative output such as described audio with jack. Intellectual Accessibility – Choose easily understandable icons and minimal, simple text. Text shall be written for language skill of about Grade 6 level reading comprehension. Use short sentences and avoid words that represent complex concepts.
Accessibility exemptions:
Programming and Outreach opportunities. Post-2017, an online portal could host all of the exploded products with associated information.

A3 Gas station experience: Visitors are challenged to find the balance in
CO2 emissions, time and cost as you travel to one of 4 different locations (in Canada and Europe). Visitors can choose from different transportation methods to get there (this could be depicted on a map). As they pump or charge their vehicle, visitors will find out how much CO2 their trip will emit, how much it will cost and how much time it will take.

Within case: A4 L2 title – Transforming resources to heat, cool and light. A4 Graphic: Content: Canadians transform natural resources into energy to light (4 %) and heat and cool our homes (62% heating, 2% cooling), to heat water (20%) and to run appliances (13%) A4 Graphic caption: Canadians transform natural resources into energy to heat, cool and light their houses, to heat their water and to run appliances. A4 Artifact group captions: A4-1 Fans Group Caption: Fans were among the earliest electric appliances, developed by engineers to experiment with electric motors. A4-2 Heaters Group Caption: For centuries, we heated our homes with wood or coal stoves. Electric, natural gas or oil heaters became more popular at the end of the 19th century. They were cleaner, smaller and easier to control and operate. A4-3 Lamps\Light bulbs Group Caption: The electric light bulb has had an enormous impact on our lives. Over the centuries people used various fuels to light their homes. Electric light bulbs changed the look and feel of our spaces and allowed us to work and live after dark.
