Museum visits allow students to see animals from South America, North America, Africa, Asia, and the North Pole without rain, snow, or mosquitoes. This activity guide was developed for teachers, chaperones, and students to use with the animal exhibits in the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Wing of the Field Museum of Chicago. Activities are designed for students to work independently and cooperatively without teacher intervention. These structured activities are intended to help students learn, appreciate exhibits more fully, and help focus their attention and thoughts as if on a guided tour of the museum. Ten separate activities, each containing a list of skills, background information, directions for pre- and postmuseum activities, and extensions are included. Two additional topics cover frequently asked questions about The Field Museum, and thoughts from the museum's scientist for the teacher are also included. A teacher and student map of the first floor of the field museum is presented to guide visitors through the exhibits. Additional information with referencing museum numbers is featured for the instructor. (SJR)
