For the History museum visit we were not quite sure what to expect. As educators we all know that science can be anywhere, but we needed to find activities that teachers and their students would also love. We have four recommended field experiences. It's Elemental involves the rare mining of "quicksilver," Modifying the Carbon Cycle allows exploration of oil in Texas, Mapping Matagorda connects the history of the La Belle shipwreck, geography, and estimation in measurement. Last, we invite teachers to use the history of Texas to explore energy in Energy: The Joule of Texas. More »

Learning Opportunities
My students would be inspired here by discovering what they may never have known is theirs. Putting this very big story together will help them see what their roles could be in making their contributions to the story.
