a box and adapt it to their students' needs. Boxes also may
be used effectively as in-school exhibits.

illustrations, and/or document replicas, along with
explanatory labels. Learning activities emphasize use of
primary sources and thinking skills.
Discovery Boxes are available on a first-come, first-serve
basis, and may be borrowed by administrators, school
librarians, teachers, or home school parents. Please call
621-1154 to check on availability or to schedule their use.
the Museum will deliver the boxes to the school, at which
