themes, topics
or areas of enquiry
for your pupils.

you to identify
your aims and
objectives and to suggest
which exhibits to use. |

packs and notes
are available on
aspects of the
collections. These
may be photocopied
and used to produce
worksheets suitable
for your pupils. |

yourself, before
you bring your
group. Schools
Liaison teachers
are pleased to accompany teachers on a pre-visit 'walkabout', to work out the
timing, location of exhibits, etc. |

some prior preparation.
Schools Liaison

you to plan pre-visit
classroom work;

teachers' notes
and sample worksheets

only be consumed
in the designated
