Project Suggestions

These recent examples demonstrate how museum spaces support hands-on connections to material covered in the classroom:

• A fifth-grade class visited Dancing Wings Butterfly Garden to sketch plants as part of their study of botany and to inspire poetry writing.
• A first-grade class visited Reading Adventureland as part of their study of literary genres.
• A high school technology class visited eGameRevolution to explore the history of electronic games.
