Hands-on learning is key in this program, which explores the six simple machines: pulley, lever, wheel-and-axle, inclined plane, screw and wedge. Students look at photos of artifacts, view videos, go on a scavenger hunt, and make a catapult.

The Richmond Art Gallery’s School Program introduces students of all ages to the exciting world of contemporary art through interactive gallery tours and hands-on art workshops.  Led by professional art educators, our curriculum-based programs encourage students to make personal connections with art while developing critical thinking skills and exploring diverse perspectives. For more information or to book a field trip visit our gallery website.

Get a hands-on tour of our medieval and renaissance museum of arms and armour, original
renaissance books, and heraldry!

Your students will get excited about the middle ages and renaissance in a new way by
handling reproduction and historical swords, trying on real steel and leather armour, leafing
through parchment and linen books, and learning all about the surrounding history from our
expert instructors.

We combine engaging lectures and demonstrations with opportunities for students to hold
and experience artifacts while learning their stories and real world use.

Ever wonder what the H.R. Macmillan Space Centre is like at night?

Your class will have the Space Centre all to themselves! Students will explore the Cosmic Courtyard, look through the ½ metre telescope in the Gordon MacMillan Southam Observatory (weather permitting), create a hands-on project, and end the night with an orientation to the night sky in our Planetarium. In the morning, a light breakfast is served followed by launching bottle rockets. Programming is ideally suited to grades 4 to 7 or ages 6 – 12 for community groups.

Using archival evidence, students will explore how Delta has changed over time to meet the needs and wants of the community. This interdisciplinary kit incorporates math and literacy skills into an exploration of life now and in the past and the changes that have shaped our community and environment.

Education Kits provide your students the opportunity to explore primary source materials in the classroom. Our kits include a teacher’s manual, lesson plans, student activity sheets, archival documents and artifacts, and program materials.
