Where else can you bring your students face to face—or even in touch—with the physical history of our planet? The museum presents its natural treasures in innovative and engaging formats for pre-K–12 students. Bring billions of years of the Earth's history to your students through our range of engaging and enlightening programs.
For elementary students (grades K–5)
Designed and taught by museum educators, these programs offer an
activity-oriented approach to help students develop a
deeper understanding of natural and cultural history. Students become
scientists as they handle museum specimens and artifacts, study live animals, and participate in interactive demonstrations.
For secondary students (grades 6–12)
These in-depth, experiential programs encourage students to explore
science through hands-on investigations of natural and history
topics. Guided by museum educators, students use specimens, living collections, and equipment in a laboratory setting
that emphasizes development of critical thinking and investigative
skills. Each Museum Lab includes laboratory manuals that will be
completed by your students during the program.
For Grades Pre-K–12
Self-guided visits offer an opportunity to make the museum your
classroom and to develop focused connections between your curriculum
and the 14,000 artifacts and specimens on display. Please see our
exhibitions page for a more complete description of the permanent and
temporary exhibitions that relate to topics in life and earth sciences
and social studies.
