The industrial Revolution

The student is invited to share his perceptions and understanding of the industrial revolution in a dialogic guided tour.

The teacher's role

We want you as a teacher to be active, participating and curious with the children during the visit. The students get the best results if they come prepared, so feel free to show the students pictures or the "INTROVIDEO", tell them about what will happen, and check whether there is associated pre- and post-work for the teaching plan

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
