Museum Programs

I was impressed with your rock, crystal, and fossil specimens. I especially liked the trilobites. My students appreciated the hands-on lesson and are hypothesizing how loud that enormous ancient frog must have been!

// Suzy D, 6th Grade Teacher //

I loved the presentation. You have inspired me to become someone who works with endangered species. I hope people will think differently about animals.

// Jennifer, 3rd Grade Student //

This is one of the best field trips in Northern California.

// Leslie P., 3rd Grade Teacher //

I watched the parent volunteer faces when I could, and they seemed just as enthralled as the students. In fact, I have to say I was caught up in the whole show, too!

// Moira W., 2nd Grade Teacher //

My kids and chaperones thoroughly enjoyed this trip! It is convenient for us to get to from Auburn, is cost-friendly, and dovetails nicely with 6th grade science and social studies topics.

This is a great field trip! The students were fully engaged and on task for the entire program. It was a learning-working field trip. Great job!
