The interface between the informal science community and the schools is strongest when classroom teachers have the opportunity to complete content-centered activities with their students in preparation for their visit to a museum or science center. At the conclusion of a museum or science center visit, it is important that the students and the teacher have activities to complete and extension activity ideas to explore so that the interest you have generated continues to inspire students to know and understand. K'NEX would be happy to work with your staff in planning standards-based activities and recommending K'NEX Education Sets that would support pre trip and post trip classroom activities.
Also, consider Including K'NEX in your school outreach programs which are based around K'NEX Education sets that combine fun and educational building activities to explore bridges, forces, energy & motion, DNA and much more.
