By borrowing Natural Heritage Project science kits, educators can bring resources and collections from the Idaho Museum of Natural History to their place of learning.
Kids have fun while building their knowledge of local species and how they live together.
The Treasure Chests are shipped in wheeled containers. Educators can borrow them on a one-month loan, inclusive of time for transit. Promotional workshops where educators can learn how to use the Treasure Chests are being provided in several locations across the state. These training sessions will feature hands-on use of the science kits to develop an understanding of how the materials can enhance learning about the diversity of life and how nature works.
