Learn about Civil War causes, economic effects, important figures and territorial expansion through photographs, prints, maps, replicas and other period materials.

Lotions, Potions & Strange Notions 3–6 ES, POWLearn the present-day and historical theories about the cause of cholera, then role-play the symptoms caused by this disease. Touch a “giant microbe” of Vibrio cholerae (cholera) and investigate where the disease is found today. Explore old-fashioned home and herbal remedies, then use mortars and pestles to roll herbal pills like those dispensed in 19th-century apothecaries.

One World, Many Cultures 1–4 POWTake a trip around the world using maps and travel buddies to navigate your way. Explore cultures from Africa, Asia, Australia and South and North America through clothing, crafts, games, celebrations, music and photographs.

The Underground Railroad: Its History, People & Glory 3–8 ES, POWRecreate elements of the Underground Railroad through pictures, slave shackles, photographs, maps, navigational tools and true stories of historical figures. Discover the resourcefulness, courage and determination of freedom-seeking slaves and abolitionists.

Transportation Transformations 3–6 ES, POWLearn how canals, streetcars and inclines impacted the growth of Cincinnati from the 1820s through the 1950s. Learn a period folk song, load goods on a mock canal boat, experience one of Cincinnati’s five inclines and view historical photographs of these forms of transportation.

Uncovering Egypt 4–8 ES, POWUnderstand the science that allows us to unlock the secrets of past civilizations. Participate in hands-on demonstrations of archaeological techniques, explore a mock excavation site from Egypt and learn to identify a culture based on the artifacts discovered.

Walking City 3–8 ES, POWExplore how geographic factors kept Cincinnatians confined to the downtown basin and learn why our city remained a walking city longer than most. Use a two-by-three-foot period map, map key, advertisements and illustrations to perform a series of tasks that help you understand what life was like in 1863 Cincinnati.

When Two Worlds Met 3–6 ES, POWThe North American fur trade connected people from two different worlds. Exchange furs, coins and wampum for replica goods from a late 18th-century trading post. Learn about the Battle of Fallen Timbers by stepping into roles as the signers of the Treaty of Greenville.

Jerusalem and the Dead Sea Scrolls 4–8 POWGeographical, political and old city maps help us explore one of the oldest cities in the world. Visualize similarities among three world religions with a Venn diagram. Recreate a passage from the Dead Sea Scrolls using a concordance and use DNA to validate authenticity. Finally, examine the history and science behind iron gall ink and ancient and modern manuscript materials by writing with scribes and quills.

Impact of Inventions 2–6 ES, POWMany inventors, such as Benjamin Banneker, Garrett Morgan, Eli Whitney, George Washington Carver and Patricia Bath, have created items that changed our daily lives. Use a timeline, experiments, hands-on activities and role playing to investigate the impact of their inventions, and others, on the past, present, and future of our world.

Lewis and Clark 3–8 ES, POWUse maps, historical artifacts, parched corn and primary source material to study the wildlife, unknown lands and people Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery encountered on their journey. Primary source material includes a Meriwether Lewis manuscript owned by Museum Center and replicas of the Jefferson Peace Medal.

ECSITEEarly Childhood Science Inquiry Teacher EducationCincinnati Museum Center’s ECSITE program helps early childhood educators create and implement inquiry-based science activities for their students. The program consists of workshops focused on “sciencing,” a teaching approach which incorporates science experiences into other content areas such as literacy and math. Participating educators complete the program with greater understanding of different approaches to teaching science and the skills students develop through science activities that will help them become successful learners.

ECSITE is Ohio Approved Professional Development Training and also Kentucky Approved Early Care and Education Training. Contact Tony Lawson at tlawson@cincymuseum.org for more details.

Fundamentals of InquiryGet back to the basics of teaching science to your students! Join us for hands-on, team-oriented workshops developed specifically for educators interested in exploring the theory and practice of inquiry-based teaching with STEM applications. These 90-minute workshops illuminate the power of learning science content through inquiry, introduce strategies for providing inquiry-based experiences in the classroom and can be done at your location.

Comparing Approaches to Hands-On ScienceChildren approach learning about science in different ways. Educators should be able to vary their approaches to meet the needs of every student. Experience three approaches to teaching science in your classroom.

Process SkillsChildren young and old use the same process skills when learning science. Experience them in this hands-on workshop that will foster a student’s interest and success in science.

Raising QuestionsStudents discover science through questions grounded in their own curiosity. Discover ways to stimulate curiosity and elicit student questions that ultimately lead to investigations.

Subtle ShiftsIn order to help learners develop the process skills needed for science exploration and inquiry, teachers need to gradually shift to giving learners more responsibility for using these skills in science activities. Practice making small shifts in existing activities to help learners strengthen the process skills needed for scientific inquiry.

Contact Tony Lawson at tlawson@cincymuseum.org for more details.
