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.

WDM Moose Jaw galleries to explore include:

  • 100 Years of Saskatchewan History exhibit featuring displays about weather, Medicare, Saskatchewan transportation beyond the grid and a 100 year timeline of Saskatchewan history.
  • Aircraft Gallery featuring an exhibit about the Second World War British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
  • Snowbirds Gallery
  • Watercraft Gallery
  • Rail Gallery
  • Land Transportation Gallery

Program Type

Teacher-Led

Teachers will lead the program using scripts or other information provided by the Museum.  Museum staff will not guide you and your students. Museum staff or volunteers will:
  • Greet your group when you arrive to introduce the program and review the Museum rules.
  • Ensure that all required materials are ready.
  • Will review the program with teachers before the start so that teachers are comfortable delivering the program.
  Scripts will help guide you and your students in exploring and learning from the artifacts, replicas and photos used in these programs. Teachers may request the program script to review before their visit. Staff will check in with teachers during the program to answer questions or, if needed, to help direct students to their next activity.
