| Two NEW programs from Fort Worth Museum of Science and History!
American Lore: Cattle Drives and the Cowboys is designed to introduce students to the beginnings of the cattle industry, the reason and impact of the cattle drives, the how and why of branding, a look at what the typical cowboy was like during the great cattle era, and an understanding of the importance of the cattle industry of today. David Bedford, Cattle Raisers Museum Educator, uses hands-on activities, stories, images and artifacts to make the cattle industry come alive for your students.
Watch for additional dates and times from March to May!
During this hands-on engineering program, your students will get a first-hand look at how catapults work by creating simple catapults. Additionally, they will learn more about the physical science principles surrounding catapults and find out about the historical and modern day uses of catapults. Each student will create a basic catapult and work as part of a group to create a more elaborate model using a variety of materials. Students will use science process skills to observe, ask questions, plan and implement simple investigations and discover ways to improve upon their catapult design.
Watch for additional dates and times during Engineers Week, Feb. 22-24. These days and times don’t work for you? While we cannot ensure we can meet every scheduling need, please contact distancelearning@fwmsh.org with alternate days and times and we will try to accommodate your request. | ||||||||||||||||||||
