Getting ready for a field trip means planning both the logistics of the field trip and preparing your students for what they will see and do. To begin please complete our group registration form, which will help us allocate resources to welcome you on the day of your visit.
To help you make the case that your field trip addresses your curriculum standards, many of the Educators’ Guides for the Museum’s exhibitions and programs include connections to national curriculum standards.
