Recommendation:

If the exhibits listed interest your students or connect to your curriculum, they are informative and interesting. Each exhibit's student interaction varies - some are only reading material, others are interactive tours. The 'online interactives' are as good or better than the exhibits, so look at these, too.

Description:

From the website: "The Field Museum is an educational institution concerned with the diversity and relationships in nature and among cultures. It provides collection-based research and learning for greater public understanding and appreciation of the world in which we live." Beyond a guide to the museum, this site provides online exhibits, virtual tours and related resources for teachers.

Possible uses:

These experiences can add to curriculum or be viewed on their own for learning extension. This site contains 17 online exhibits that can be visited independently or as a class. Some of the 'online interactives' activities connect with the online exhibits, others can be used independently.
