moving water through fountains, locks and dams. Travel through time to
visit Rhode Island residents of the past and present. Get the inside
scoop on the human body with a close-up look at bones and teeth. Along
the way, encounter Museum staff who will encourage grade-appropriate
learning. The teacher resource packet you receive prior to your visit
and the tour cards given to you at the Museum will assist you to

Tooth Sleuth
Best suited for grades K - 2
Students become tooth detectives as they examine the skulls of a
tiger, an alligator, a horse and a wombat. Using careful observation
and keen sleuthing skills, students categorize teeth according to size,
shape and function to identify herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
Students then hunt through the exhibit, Teeth! to exercise
their new knowledge.
This 20-minute activity takes place within a two-hour Museum Adventure visit. Teacher resource materials are included.
Geomazing
Best suited for grades 1 - 3
Squares, triangles, and trapezoids take center stage as students

Worm World
Best
suited for grades 1-3
Worms are natural recyclers. While handling live earthworms, students
use observation and inquiry to investigate questions such as: Where do
worms live? How do they move? What happens when an earthworm eats a
rotten leaf? Students gain an understanding of basic worm anatomy and
the critical role worms play in maintaining a balanced environment. The
older grades can take their exploration a step further to discuss the
food chain and energy flow.
