The Land of the Fragile Giants Outreach Kit explores the science, art, and history of western Iowa's Loess Hills. This education kit may be used independently of a visit to the museum, or in concert with a teacher's current curriculum. Each person learns in different ways. By utilizing many resources, such as objects, books, oral histories, observation, experience, and analysis, we hope students will enjoy and become knowledgeable about the art, science, and history of the Loess Hills. The kit may be borrowed for a period of two weeks, depending on demand.
Borrowers are responsible for picking up the kit and returning it.
With advance notice, pick-ups and deliveries may be arranged for weekends. An inventory sheet is included in the kit. This must be completed and signed by the borrowing party upon return. This will be helpful information for future kit users. Using Objects in the Classroom Actual museum objects may enter the classroom through outreach kits such as Land of the Fragile Giants .
