PLANNING YOUR FIELD TRIP
Trained museum educators and docents are extremely effective, but you bring many essential assets to the museum learning experience, including knowledge of the curriculum and understanding of students’ abilities and interests.

The Anchorage Museum’s exhibitions tell many multicultural and interdisciplinary stories that can engage students in multiple ways. The role of teachers and chaperones is to facilitate student interaction with exhibitions. The best way to prepare for this is to visit the museum before your field trip. Remember when planning a field trip to allow ample time for transition between programs, bathroom breaks, lunch, and free-choice exploration.

BEFORE YOUR FIELD TRIP
For you: Teachers may contact the Education Operations Specialist to schedule a visit prior to the field trip date. This is by appointment only, and only teachers may attend. You will receive museum information and access to galleries included in the upcoming field trip experience. For more information contact (907) 929-9280 or fieldtrips@anchoragemuseum.org.

For students: Pre-visit activities should familiarize students with what they will see and do at the museum. It’s also important to discuss appropriate conduct and set expectations. We recommend pre-field trip activities such as reading relevant literature, doing Internet research, or conducting hands-on activities and labs.

AT THE MUSEUM
Choose from one of our educational programs for your field trip experience. In addition to those programs, we encourage leaving time for free choice exploration. Below we’ve outlined some suggested field trip activities to help you develop or modify one of our Focused Trip Sheets for specific grade levels and exhibits. We suggest you provide chaperones with the Focused Trip Sheet and the answers. This empowers chaperones to fully participate and guide students’ exploration.

BACK IN THE CLASSROOM
Provide opportunities for students to connect pre-visit lessons to post-visit concepts and classroom projects. Ask them to dig further into a subject by reading relevant literature, doing Internet research, or conducting experiments. Find specific post-visit activity ideas in the museum’s downloadable Focused Trip Sheets.

SUGGESTED FIELD TRIP ACTIVITIES

Sending students on scavenger hunts adds excitement, helps guide them through an exhibit, and encourages them to examine things more closely.
Re-creating an object by sketching or drawing allows students to pause and make observations.
Fact-finding and taking notes are useful ways for students to gather information from label copy, develop hypotheses, and document questions that arise.
Categorizing objects in exhibitions is an easy way to help students group things and compare and contrast.
Creating a hypothesis and testing it at the museum prompts students to think critically about real-world applications for classroom projects.
Writing or journaling encourages students to reflect on the museum experience, find inspiration for future creative endeavors, and make connections between exhibitions and classroom lessons.
