Timing
You will need to allow between 1 and 4 hours at the museum, and the visit might include a range of activities which meet the needs of pupils such as:
- the opportunity to look around the museum, perhaps with the aid of museum staff or with a written resource or audio guide
- an object handling workshop session, or
- a series of similar activities
- a break for lunch and to use the toilet
- an opportunity to use the shop!
You can look at some some sample session formats on the websites below, which give an idea of the range of activities a museum might offer.
