Description
Self-Guided Visits are a wonderful way for learners of all ages to experience the WDM Saskatoon. The WDM Saskatoon provides curriculum connected worksheets called Museum Quests, to encourage learning and discovery.
Museum Quests give direction and extra information for chaperoned student groups to explore the Museum galleries. Students work together to find featured artifacts and answer challenging, age-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 peak their interest.
Museum Quests are provided on arrival, no need to print or prep for your visit. Currently Quests connect to the resource and wealth theme of the social studies curriculum, we are working to expend into the other themes.
WDM Saskatoon galleries to explore include:
- Wapaha Sk̄a Oyate: Living Our Culture, Sharing Our Community at Pion-Era, 1955 - 69
- Boomtown Street
- A Saskatchewan Story: 100 Years of Saskatchewan History
- Fuelled By Innovation and the Transportation gallery
- Precious Metal: Agricultural Implements exhibit
