The Project Curiosity Online Guide was designed to help teachers promote student understanding and abilities to do scientific inquiry during a visit to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. The guide provides easy access to grade-appropriate classroom activities, related exhibitry, and background information for two of the Colorado State Science Standards: Standard 1—Abilities to Do Scientific Inquiry; Standard 6—Understandings about Scientific Inquiry.
The Project Curiosity Pathways consist of the following:
- Relevant Project Curiosity exhibit components
- Pre, post, and during-your-visit activities
- Basic background information
- Suggested Museum Outreach programs
- Additional content resources
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science is committed to providing accurate, age-appropriate materials for teachers and their students. Museum scientists and educators have reviewed the background content within this guide. The resource links were selected based on their relevancy to inquiry content and standards, scientific accuracy, and practical applications. Experienced teaching professionals developed the pre and post-visit activities and classroom programs.
