AT THE MUSEUM

1.  The class will assemble outside the Discovery Room. The WDM programmer will introduce the class to the exhibit and outline what you will do. The class will be divided into two groups for two 45 minute sessions, one in the Discovery Room, the second in the exhibit. Hand out the exhibit activity sheets to the group touring the exhibit.
2.  In the Discovery Room: The students will handle (with care) and interact with artifacts,
replicas and photographs located in the discovery box. A leader’s script in the discovery
box will assist the leader to guide the students’ discussion.
3.  In the Exhibit: The second group may be divided into smaller groups. Each group must be accompanied through the exhibit by a teacher or chaperone. A tour script for the group
leader may be sent with the confirmation of your Museum tour booking. They will view
related exhibits and rare artifacts. Interactive exhibit components will encourage further
participation.
4.  At the end of the two sessions, the class will come together in the Discovery Room to discuss what they have seen and learned.
