Teacher Lesson Plans for School Visits to the Museum

 
The Children’s Museum of Houston (CMH) offers learning through fun, educational exhibits and programs that provoke curiosity and inspiration. CMH believes that the process of learning is as important as the product. A Field Trip to CMH offers your students a learning experience through hands-on, minds-on activities. These activities surrounded your students with challenging problems and absorbing questions.
 
These pre/post classroom activities include TEKS aligned activities for Pre-K through 5. Use them as a resource to prepare your students for their Museum Adventure visit or to continue the learning that takes place when you return to your classroom.
