Children between the ages of 3 and 8 may visit the Museum for field trips from school. Children are taught about growth and development, nutrition and the organ systems via several different hands-on educational stations, which are described below. Groups of more than 15 children will be divided, with one part going to the museum while the others participate in one of the supplemental activities described below. The groups will then rotate so each person who visits the museum can participate in all the activities it has to offer.
Visits can last either an hour or an hour and a half.
With the help of a child-size Zaadi doll named Jesse, children learn what to expect of a hospital stay. The demonstration helps children have a better understanding of medical terminology and procedures in order to alleviate their fears. Each child is given a surgical cap and mask to keep. A human torso model helps Ellen to demonstrate the five senses in addition to the respiratory, digestive, and circulatory systems. A component on smoking is also offered.
