Why Museum of Nature & Science?
“It was wonderful! Both presenters were great with the students and setting them up for the lab. My classes had a great time and have asked many other questions since the lab. I look forward to having the program at our school in the future.”
Bishop Dunne HS
“I am always pleased with the Museum and how well you work with the kids.”
Hubbard Elementary
“Your programs are so popular with the teachers and students that we have trouble getting them to go to other places for field trips.”
Birdie Alexander Elementary
MNS is perfectly suited to provide the best in hands-on science exhibits, educational classes, planetarium shows and IMAX® films. Our excellent teaching staff and extensive network of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) partnerships across North Texas are resources we bring to life in your classroom; there’s nothing else like it around.
Our Programs Meet TEKS Standards
Utilizing the unique resources available to the Museum, all of our education programs, films and planetarium shows are designed to support Texas teachers and schools by providing programs unavailable in the typical classroom. Our teaching staff excels in developing hands-on, problem-based learning programs for your students, and we pride ourselves in seeing that our visitors understand the connection between science and their everyday lives.
All MNS educational programs are specifically designed to meet the revised TEKS standards. Our Teacher’s Resource site will help you find exactly which program is the best fit for the concepts and skills you need to support your classroom teaching.
