Bring the museum to your classroom with our new inquiry-based education kits. Each kit contains activities, worksheets, crafts and artifacts that support core competencies and connect with the big ideas in the BC curriculum.

Navigation skills can be taught anywhere! Teach your students how sailors in the past found their way using mathematics, science and basic observations with this new education kit.

Big Ideas

  • Analyzing the validity, reliability, and representation of data enables us to compare and interpret.
  • The principles and processes underlying operations with numbers apply equally to algebraic situations and can be described and analyzed.
  • Exploration, expansion, and colonization had varying consequences for different groups.
  • Emerging ideas and ideologies profoundly influence societies and events.
