Encourage your students’ curiosity! Discovery Boxes are collections of artifacts and primary source materials that allow students of all ages to get hands-on with history. Each box is built around a particular theme that can be easily incorporated into your existing content standards.
We understand that students are naturally curious and want to touch, feel, and experience what they are learning. Giving students the opportunity to get hands-on with history allows them to make more meaningful connections to the people and events which have shaped our world. The Discovery Boxes are developed with you, the teacher, in mind!
Current Discovery Boxes:
Immigration and Migration
Native People of Wisconsin
Wisconsin and the Fur Trade
Pioneer Life and Settlement
Victorian and the Springs Era
*Boxes are picked up at the museum when we are open and can be rented for up to 2 weeks.
