Field Museum Learning Resources

The Field Museum in Chicago shares a collection of lesson plans, short videos, and printable activities that connect its natural history and cultural collections to classroom and homeschool learning. Topics range from dinosaurs and fossils to climate, anthropology, and biodiversity, often tying exhibits to big scientific questions. Teachers and parents appreciate the museum’s educator-written guides and the way they build hands-on investigations around artifacts and specimens. These resources are best for upper elementary through high school students. Some lessons assume access to museum exhibits, but many can stand alone with photos and online content. Using them as anchors for unit studies or project-based learning brings museum rigor into your home.
