Museum Package
Select one of these activities to help your students examine
artifacts and uncover stories in the History Center’s museum
exhibits. Teachers and chaperones work with small groups
of students to facilitate each activity.
Please
allow 1-2 hours in the museum to complete activities.
EXPLORE!
Students become “history
detectives” and dig deeper into exhibit themes and content
when they answer questions using our Explore! booklets.
Each student receives an illustrated booklet with questions
and activities that guide and encourage interaction with
the exhibits. Chaperones and teachers are provided with
answer keys to help them facilitate discussion.
NOW ON DISPLAY!
Take on the role
of an exhibit curator! Students are given a booklet to
help them create their own museum. Using different organizing
themes, students explore the exhibits to find items that
will fit into a museum of their own. Students answer questions
that help them describe and interpret the items they have
selected and explain how they fit into their museum.
