The Field Museum: Learning at Home
The Field Museum fuels a journey of discovery across time to enable solutions for a brighter future rich in nature and culture. They invite you to:
“Bring the Field Museum’s learning resources to your school or home to support learners engaging with science, nature, and world cultures. The lesson plans and activities draw from our collections, exhibitions, and research. Discover how ecosystems change over time. Watch as an archaeologist explores history through objects. Learn how to investigate specimens like a scientist. Every resource is designed to spark the curiosity of learners of all ages and needs.”
Museum of Science and Industry
The Museum of Science and Industry opened in 1933 during the Century of Progress Exposition. While it is closed to the public, you can find “Hands On Science” projects, videos, games and more at the Museum’s Science at Home page.
