Description
Self-Guided Visits are a wonderful way for learners of all ages to experience the WDM Moose Jaw. Students use curriculum connected Museum Quest worksheets that give directions and extra information for chaperoned student groups to explore the Museum galleries. Students work together to find featured artifacts and answer challenging, grade-appropriate and curriculum connected questions about Saskatchewan heritage. Groups can visit all galleries and exhibits at their own pace, spending time at the artifacts that pique their interest.
Museum Quest worksheets are laminated, with dry-erase markers provided for writing. These materials must be returned after your visit.
