Here you'll find curriculum guides, online activities, lesson plans and TEKS correlations to help you integrate a museum visit into your classroom teaching. In a museum careful observation of the objects can stimulate critical thinking skills such as comparing and contrasting, identifying and classifying, describing, predicting, and summarizing. In the curriculum guides and lessons you'll find suggested discussion questions and activities that utilize those critical thinking skills. These TEKS lesson planners, which are targeted toward a variety of age levels and subject areas, are available for all exhibits.
Additional curriculum guides from past exhibits are available as links below.
Many guides are provided in printable PDF format, including worksheets and activities. Each PFD entry is notated. Unless otherwise noted, the remaining documents are in html format.
