What happens in this learning offer?

This is a 45-minute tour that actively uses the museum's exhibitions and central historical objects for immersion. The steam engine and loom are illuminated from several angles and in the museum's medicine exhibition we look at living conditions in Kristiania in the 19th century. The pupils are invited to share their perceptions and understanding of the industrial revolution in a dialogic guided tour.

Description of the lesson:

When registering at the mouse's reception, the teacher is allocated a column for attendance. The class will be picked up there and taken around the exhibitions. The order may vary based on deviations from other learning plans that day, work in the exhibitions or possible temporary exhibitions.

The teacher's role

Vi ønsker at du som lærer er aktiv, deltakende og nysgjerrig sammen med barna under besøket. Elevene får best utbytte hvis de kommer forberedt, så vis gjerne elevene bilder eller «INTROVIDEOEN», fortell om hva som skal skje, og sjekk ut om det er tilhørende for- og etterarbeid til undervisningsopplegget

You as a teacher are responsible for the group during the entire visit.

Explainer is responsible for implementing the program. The teacher has overall responsibility for the students. You may be asked to help along the way.

What you need to bring

If you want an invoice, include the resource number and the correct invoice address.

You do not need to bring anything special to the Planetarium, but it is great if you have lots of questions about stars and planets.

If you have also seen the moon on a day when it is visible during the day, that is great!

Preparation:

Our learning offers do not require preparatory work, but it is always useful to prepare students for a museum visit. This can increase the learning outcomes from the museum activity, and links the classroom to the museum. Here are some wondering questions for the class, which can prepare and engage the students before they learn more about the topic at the museum

Wonder question

What do you think of when you hear The Industrial Revolution?
How would you describe the living conditions for those who worked in the factories in Kristiania in the 19th century?
Which technology do you think is important in today's society?
