Designing an Aeronautics Museum Gallery
Designing an Aeronautics Museum Gallery will help students create an Aeronautics Museum Gallery in order to develop their knowledge of the science of aeronautics. Students will expand their knowledge of these topics as they work in committees similar to the work environment in the real world. By planning, designing, and building an Aeronautics Museum Gallery, students will bring educational resources that museums offer to others in your school. The students will sharpen their information gathering, organizational, and problem solving skills by writing labels and other documentation for the objects in the exhibits. The students will learn how to organize objects in an exhibit.
