Description

WDM staff and volunteers lead a presentation on how the impact of the environment affects modes of transportation in Saskatchewan (via land, air and water). Take part in a bingo activity that challenges students to review terms and concepts covered in the discussion in a fun and familiar way. Make your own aircraft, then explore the Museum galleries (self-guided) to answer grade-appropriate questions about the different types of transportation that exist in Saskatchewan.

Program Type

Museum-Led

WDM staff or volunteers will lead you and your students through set programming. 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.
  • Lead and facilitate program activities.
  Note: Chaperones are still required and will be asked to help students with some activities. Your students may not have a chance to explore the whole Museum as part of any one program.
