Field Trip Activity Worksheets

Key Questions and Light

A Sample Worksheet for Exhibit Halls

How does light travel? How are shadows formed? What is color?

This worksheet draws directly on key questions from a specific set of science standards, in this case light and color. This worksheet asks participants to find exhibit components that help them better understand a question, not necessarily answer it! The worksheet also gives the learner an opportunity to choose something they like and share it.

Key questions can be explored in any of our exhibits in order to work on understanding a specific concept. Educators are encouraged to create similar worksheets to connect their curriculum with exhibit content.
