For example, by seeing a kangaroo first hand, it gives the child a realism to what they learn. They are able see the color and size of the kangaroo, while comparing it to other animals around it and to themselves. This is something that textbooks can't do. Visually they can see that a boa constrictor is nearly ten feet long and four inches thick without having to try to imagine it. It gives children a concrete learning experience that extends their knowledge.
Introduction There are many different things that comprise science.
By visiting the museum the children can gain a greater knowledge and awareness of the diversity within science. By making children aware of the many topics that lie within science, I hope that they can grab on to at least one thing and want to know more about it. I will first explain why going to a museum is important. It helps us learn more about our world. There are many different things that we are not able to see here in Stevens Point.
