In the Classroom

Bring one of our science-education outreach programs to your classroom!

Invite an expert Museum educator into your classroom to share the excitement of science with your students. Depending on your location, we can physically bring our Science-to-Go™ programs into your classroom or you can connect with us through any computer via our Virtual Field Trip & Learning Experiences programs.

A Museum educator will lead your classroom through a hands-on exploration of the science topic of your choice. Compare fossil teeth to modern mammals, identify ancient artifacts, or learn about the systems of the human body. All programs are designed to meet Ohio's Learning Standards for pre-K through grade 12, and many are informed by research being conducted right here in the Museum.
