A field trip to your Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum will help you apply Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations and Common Core State Standards to real-world museum adventures. Kiddos will explore, learn, and create in an environment dedicated to supporting your teaching with hands-on experiences. And if you can’t come to us, we offer many of our in-house lessons as traveling extension lessons.
Our engaging, hands-on science programs utilize our galleries and address the Michigan Grade Level Content Expectations and Common Core State Standards for children up to 10 years of age.
