In Your Classroom

If your class is not able to visit in person, the Concord Museum can bring teaching resources to your classroom. Enjoy learning and enrich the classroom curriculum through activities provided by the Museum's team of experienced educators. As with programs in the Museum, those available in the classroom are designed to be framework-friendly with a hands-on focus. Programs are available year round and are all approximately one-hour long. Educators prefer to work with a maximum of 25 students in a group. The Museum education staff is happy to work with teachers to tailor classroom programs to their curriculum needs.

• Describe, examine and identify the stone tools
• Acquire insight into the function and importance of Stone Tools in providing North east Woodland Indians with their basic needs
• Participate in a discussion to share their discoveries with the group
