Museum in a Suitcase
Traveling Science and Natural
History Programs
- In-class programs
- In- field programs
- French language instruction
- Summer camps
The Museum-in-a-Suitcase was originally developed
for the Eastern Ontario Biodiversity Museum. It's a unique educational experience: the travelling, curriculum-based environmental science and
natural history programs come to you.
Available in French and English, programs are tailored
to your needs. Interpreted field excursions can also complement
in-school programming.
Museum-in-a-Suitcase programs enliven life science topics and integrate concepts
from other strands. Interdisciplinary applications are also possible.
Museum quality specimens and attractive teaching posters
illustrate clear, student-centered teaching, while hands-on, small group
activities encourage critical thinking. Microscopes and field
study equipment are provided.
Participants feel encouraged to put forth ideas in a welcoming
atmosphere where all questions have merit and there are no wrong
answers.
I can travel to the location of your choice,
or suggest an appropriate outdoor venue to meet your programming
needs: wetland, stream, forest, meadow… each has unique biodiversity
to explore. I am particularly fond of Limerick Forest and the
Ferguson Forest Centre which feature all of the above.
Alternatively, I'll take over your library and receive from 2
to 5 classes per day, depending on the program and the age group.
