The value of museums in a box
Historical objects have tremendous value as a starting point for historical investigation. The opportunity to handle and use physical objects stimulates curiosity and can add to first-hand knowledge about technology and tools and their contexts. They can tell us a great deal about how people lived in the past and provide insights into how the design and use of past tools and technology connect to how we live today. When guided effectively, this type of investigation can lead to critical thinking, hypothesizing and the development of key historical skills. An object investigation can be a rich source of wonder and provide new perspectives on the world around us.
This box has been created in response to increased demand from Early Learning Centres and Day cares.
