We offer two different types of field trip for visiting school groups. Please select if you would like your students to finish their visit with time for Exhibit Exploration or an Explore and Share. Both are detailed below:

Exhibit Exploration Scavenger Hunt

Students will explore the exhibit individually using our guided worksheet to uncover artifacts, videos, and photos. After having time to explore, our museum educators will debrief with students to discuss more about what they learned.

Explore and Share

Groups of 3-5 students will be assigned to specific areas of our
exhibit. Guided by a group worksheet, they will read and reflect on the features of their specific area before sharing out to the class what they learned.
