For Educators
Virtual & Off-site Learning
Discovery and curiosity are central to our education mission. Check out our collection of activities you can do at home. Or explore the options we have available for classrooms and students in scientific exploration through one of our many programs or kits.
Learn with "Archie" the mammoth and company without leaving your classroom! Our educators and scientists interact with participants on a variety of science and natural history topics through live, interactive videoconferencing programs. Our Virtual Field Trips are designed to fit within your schedule, curriculum or interest areas, and are aligned with state and national science standards. Many of our programs include a physical kit with hands-on materials to enhance your classroom discoveries. Bring the museum to your classroom today!
Introduce your students to the work of scientists by learning from the scientists themselves! Science Chat Specials are live and interactive, focusing on Nebraska science phenomena.
Bring the museum to your classroom! Kits include an educator guide, activities, and specimens from the University of Nebraska State Museum’s collections.
Engage with the Museum virtually through hands-on science activities, exploration of behind the scenes at the museum or discover our universe with videos from the Ralph Mueller Planetarium!
