Object based learning kit in the classroom
What it actually looks like
What the children do
Sets of objects such as replica artifacts, medals, uniforms and memorabilia, together with high quality photographs, used as hands on aids during a program. The museum's handout for educators says these can be booked for classroom use or included in a museum tour, and that they come with handouts, activity sheets and lesson plans for the teacher. The same handout invites teachers to propose a program the museum does not already run, including a visit to your classroom. No price, length, group size or notice period is published.
Handle replica artifacts, medals and uniforms and look at archive photographs, working through activity sheets with the objects in front of them.
Good to know
This one comes to your room, so the museum's parking and access do not matter. Cost, length and notice are all unpublished, which makes the first email the important one.
